Greater than one weekComing from a Corsair K70, this keyboard absolutely destroys it. I currently have Kailh Box Whites in mine and they feel extremely smooth and tactile, miles better than MX Blues and Browns (which were in my old keyboards). Durgod also lubes the switches they ship the keyboard with, which is just a nice touch. I highly recommend this keyboard if youre looking for high end switches, keycaps, and build quality in general.

> 3 dayMine started showing the well-known freezing issue, which is a big, big issue. What would happen if you are an engineer and your enter key got stuck while you are executing a very important, dangerous command? I thought this happened only to me, but apparently many folks got impacted by the same freezing issue. Please search for the issue on Reddit or any other communities before thinking about purchasing this product. Unfortunately, I noticed this issue after my return period ended, so I was not able to send it back. I am just going to trash this out.

> 3 dayI got bit by the issue with keys randomly repeating. I loved this keyboard but its too unreliable. What is more annoying is this happened after I returned a Durgod Hades because it would stop typing until I pulled and reinserted the USB cord. Otherwise, typing is a dream on this keyboard. It sounds so good and the keys have little flex. It makes me sad to return it.

> 3 dayI had some concerns due to so many reviews that Ive seen regarding issues with freezing and all sorts of other problems. But so many of those things just went out the window as soon as I started using the keyboard and felt it in hand and typing. The quality is so much better than what I had expected. The build of the frame, the sound signature, the feel of the keycaps. All so much better than what I have experienced before. I have been long time user of other main stream brands like Razer and Corsair, and no knocks on those boards, they served me well but the experience with this has been a step above. One of the main standouts is the stabilizers. Man I was so used to rattling stabilizers that I thought it was normal. What a breath of fresh air man. My gaming experience is so much more improved since it takes up so much less space on my desk, so I can move my mouse around without hitting the keyboard every now and then as I used to. But of course this isnt ideal for my day to day use which is programming. I have actually made the effort to get used to using the board though just because of how nice it is. I do plan on purchasing a TKL from Durgod (the K320 Corona) based on my experience with the Venus, to use as my daily driver for work purposes and then use the Venus just for gaming. That does seem excessive when i think about it and almost a waste of the Venus but alas, some things are just easier with dedicated keys. I will HIGHLY recommend this little board and NO I havent experienced any of the freezing issues that other users have noted in their reviews and I hope I dont in the coming months ahead. Oh and the silent switches are awesome.

Greater than one weekThis keyboard is one of the best sounding and has the smoothest typing experience Ive ever had in a stock pre-built. It has pre-lubed stabs straight out the factory and even has a layer of foam for dampening underneath the PCB to help with pinging sounds. However, the number one thing that killed it for me the most is the freezing issue. Just two days in within using it, the board already began to freeze up while playing games or browsing the web. It would either be completely unresponsive or act as if Im still holding down the last key I pressed, continually. The only way to resolve the issue was to unplug and plug the cable. Ive tried numerous USB Type-C cables on it but to no avail. I tried contacting support and they were nice enough to send me their upgraded cable but I highly doubt that would solve the issue as I personally believe it has to do with the board itself. If it wasnt for this glaring issue, this would be an easy 5 star. Its a shame.

> 3 dayBought this keyboard because ive preordered a Ducky Mecha Mini but it was taking forever to arrive. The unboxing experience is premium, you get an aluminum case, lubed stabs, some kind of dampening foam under the pc. Got mine with gateron reds and theyre amazing, so much better talking about feeling, sound and response compared to the Romer G switches on the G810 that I used before.

> 3 dayJust the best quality of a stock board you can get. Ive had many different keyboards (ducky,razer,corsair,logitech).. and I like durgod better then all of them. I highly recommend this board.
