I think Ripster mentioned Signature Plastics makes the Deck keys.

I'd be down with a group buy, if anyone's interested.

At the risk of having Ripster roll his eyes and sigh dramatically at my ignorance, don't all of the Ducky/Filco/Das keys fit the Deck? They're all Cherry MX boards.

That really sucks... I was thinking about getting a deck keyboard. Though the keyboard itself is completely normal though... so for instance a Raze BlackWidow's keys should fit on it?

I would imagine swapping out something like the Escape key would not be a big deal if it didn't match the others exactly.  Anyone seen a clear plastic Esc keycap that would fit a Deck (Cherry MX)

Regular Cherry key caps from the ESC row
are sized appropriately for replacing caps
on Deck or TG3 keyboards.
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

The Decks are unusual in that ALL their keys have a flat profile.  It was too expensive as a small outfit to have Signature Plastics do the tooling for multiple rows.
Is this true for xarmor as well?

No, xarmor has decently shaped keys.
