In the mechanical keyboard market, brands and models emerge in an endless stream, and users often pay attention to the appearance design, key switch feel, functionality and cost performance when choosing. Today, we're going to do an in-depth review of a keyboard that has been praised by many gamers – the Durga K330W Plus – to see if it's really worth the money.
Packaging & Accessories
Starting with the packaging, the Durga K330W Plus comes in a simple and sturdy black box with the product model and brand logo printed on the front, and the main features of the keyboard detailed on the back.
After opening the package, in addition to the keyboard itself, it also includes a quick start guide, an A-C charging cable, magic cable ties, shaft picker, USB-C to A converter, and a key puller. Nicely, Durga also comes with an additional dust cover, which is very helpful for keeping your keyboard clean for a long time.
Design & Workmanship
Durga K330W Plus continues the design of the previous generation, still using a 60% standard layout with 61 keys, the keyboard size is 300*112*36 mm, and weighs about 596g, this compact layout is not only easy to carry but also saves desktop space.
In terms of color matching, Durga K330W Plus provides ion storm, mints, cordon and ice cream, and the mint color in my hand is green and white, and the overall feeling is very layered, which is very pleasing.
The front side of the keyboard can be seen not to be a regular rectangle, but the four corners are chamfered with straight edges, and there is a durgod logo on the right side, which is also very good from this angle.
The keyboard bezel is also very distinctive, with an asymmetrical bezel that looks very technological.
On both sides of the top edge are the push-pull power switch and the Type-C data interface, which will display dark green when the power switch is turned on and light green when it is off.
In the upper left corner of the keyboard are 4 long bar indicators, from left to right are case, lock win key, call configuration and battery level, in different connection modes, the corresponding Bluetooth and 24G wireless connection status.
The keyboard uses the original high PBT two-color keycaps, which have a slight matte feeling, delicate touch, and are not easy to slip. The two-color closed molding process ensures that you don't have to worry about the characters fading for a long time.
The key part retains the basic character part, and the rest of the key functions need to be combined with the FN key. The function of the keys is marked on the side of the keycap, which is more convenient to view and use.
The back is not a large straight board design, and there are two foot supports on the left and right sides, which support the height change of 1st gear. There are also two non-slip feet next to the footrests, which are very good and can remain stable even in the heat of the game. But when I usually use it, I like to open the footrest completely, which is more comfortable and has good stability.
There are 2 on the left side of the right footrestThe storage compartment of the 4G wireless receiver is quite hidden, and the sense of integration is very strong.
The shaft body part uses K330W Plus's customized crystal shaft, which belongs to the Cap shaft of Jiadalon, which is optimized on this basis, and feels better after automatic shaft treatment. The manufacturer provides 4 kinds of shaft bodies: red shaft, silent red shaft, brown shaft, and silver shaft, and this one in my hand is a silent red shaft, and there is no dust wall in the pivot position, and the trigger stroke is 20±0.5mm, pressure trigger is 45 10gf, full stroke 40mm max。The stroke and strength of each key are very balanced, there is no obvious shaking, the mute effect of the keyboard is also very good during use, the feel is light, and a very good balance is achieved in the feel and sound, the codeword experience is very good, and the game can also be taken into account.
Compared with the previous generation of products, the biggest change in the Plus version is the addition of a hot-swappable design, which also means that we can easily replace different switches, that is, the same shaft, or according to the needs of the scene, replace the appropriate shaft in the special keys, which greatly increases the playability of the customized keyboard.
The large keys of the keyboard still use the satellite axis design, although the stability is good, but the feel is slightly inferior to the balance bar design.
Now whether it is daily office or ** editing, it is very easy to use, the keyboard keys are comfortable and accurate, and the appearance is also very high when placed on the desktop.
Of course, the keyboard can also be created and edited by Duga's Zeus driver, and the key function supports complete customization.
In terms of connectivity, the keyboard supports wired, Bluetooth, and 24GHz three connection methods, and can connect multiple devices at the same time, quickly switch through shortcut keys, which is very convenient for multi-device users. Whether it is Windows, macOS or Linux system, Durga K330W Plus is well compatible, plug and play without additional drivers.
The battery life of the keyboard is also very good, and the official data shows that the keyboard can bring about 240 days of battery life in Bluetooth mode, 24G mode, about 180 days of battery life, in fact, these days of use, Duga K330W Plus's power loss is basically negligible, and the overall battery life is still relatively reliable.
Overall, Duga K330W Plus is a mechanical keyboard with high comprehensive quality, and the private model design looks very technological. I am also very attentive to the details, and I am very satisfied with the overall process, which reflects the manufacturer's emphasis on user experience. Although it may be slightly higher than some entry-level products, considering its excellent workmanship, stable performance, and good compatibility, this keyboard is undoubtedly an option worth considering for users who are looking for a high-quality typing experience.
