Durgod HK Venus RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard | 60% Layout | USB C Wired | Doubleshot PBT Keycaps | Cherry Profile | NKRO Rollover | Windows & Mac | Aluminium Chassis| Gateron Black, Black

This keyboard is as great as all the other reviews suggest and I think people shouldnt be afraid to buy one. You really cant go wrong here. The stabs are amazing, the spacebar doesnt even sound like its stabilized at all - it sounds amazing. But here are a few cons Ive noticed: 1. The USB-C connection on the back is heavily recessed and none of my USB-C cables fit in it, so you pretty much have to use the one it comes with. I tried 5 different cables, including my braided/coiled keyboard cable and none work. 2. The lighting doesnt do a good job pulling off pure-white, but not a lot of RGB solutions do. 3. The font on the keycaps is not stenciled on the top layer, but is below, which causes light to be blocked by the stencil area. Its not super noticeable but its there. These are my first PBT double-shot keycaps so this is probably a common problem with most boards that employ this method. 4. The cherry blue .4mm o-rings work great to silence this board, but some keys (A and Q for example) act like the o-ring isnt even there. Perhaps I need to get some .2mm o-rings for those. Its possible this issue wont affect other switch types. Im using Kailh Reds. Anyway, this board sounds like butter. Its really amazing. I dont see any imperfections in the aluminum finish either. Its built solid, nothing rattles even if you shake it like a baby.

I love the overall feel of the keys, the look, and the sound of this keyboard, however HK Gaming seems to have quality control issues with their boards and I would not recommend purchasing from them. My keyboard has started to fail after 2 months of use. The keyboard freezes and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in to get it to respond and it fails to register key presses. My s key and my o both fail to register on a regular basis. Ive reached out to HK Gaming twice and have not had any service responses. For a board that is less than a year old this is unacceptable. Im immensely disappointed.

I love this keyboard, the silent brown switches are great, the board feels very high quality, overall really positive experience so far. I will say the software for the keyboard is a bit clunky, and havent quite gotten used to it yet. I would not hesitate to buy this again, and will definitely be recommending to friends in the market.

Love it

Couldnt be happier, got the box red in the white variant body and this thing is just awesome. I have many different boards and switch types this thing blows them all away with its lighting and especially software. The key caps are a little different feeling than your standard double shot pbt but still have a really nice feeling to them. And i love this software since you can get it to mimic anything on a full sized board with ease. Have had a ducky one two mini and hands down the Venus is better whether it comes to lighting or switch selection and in most cases it even seems the price is cheaper which to me is nuts with how awesome this board is.

Pros: Stylish, feels like quality materials, cool RGB effects Cons: Freezes mid sentence, you have to cycle power to the keyboard to recover at which point you have to reprogram the RGB or select it from their horrible KB app. The app doesnt resize for resolution so in my case, my 1520x1440 display caused the screen to clip the upper and lower portions so I could not use the app without changing resolution first, then was required to use the task manager to kill the app. Its terribly annoying especially coupled with the constant resets. Without those two issues it would be rated much higher but the freezes and software are nonstarters. I have requested a refund/return and I bought the Red Dragon instead.

It works great and it super quiet which was just what I wanted. Only critique I have is the cord is a bit cheaply made so the board glitches every once in a blue moon

This is an improvement from the last batch. The last one I had was a black Venus with red switches. While it typed and preformed like a dream, I occasionally got the freezing issue forcing my hand to return it. So far with the white version and brown switches I have had no issue with freezing or key chatter. It is an amazing keyboard and I am surprised it is not just as popular as the Mecha Mini from Ducky. I will edit this review if I come across any of the previous concerns of freezing. 6-9-2020 Edit: As previously stated, this keyboard freezes occasionally. I got the freezing issue once. I contacted HK gaming and they are sending me an updated cable that is supposed to fix this issue. I appreciate HK gaming doing that for their customers. Don’t let the freezing issue keep you from buying this keyboard. It is so awesome!!

This keyboard arrived dirty! The keys had spills on them. Underneath the keys had hair. There was hair in the box, and the bottom of the keyboard had a Supreme sticker someone placed on it. Very disgusting & disappointing!!

doesnt go to the colors i want it to have. Over all its good, quiet, had to push the cord in the keyboard a little bid hard.
