Hi,

  Does anyone know who makes or has custom keys for the deck legends?

         Thanks much

I think Ripster mentioned Signature Plastics (http://www.solutionsinplastic.com/) 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.

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.
