A friend just sent me this from the CeBIT...

That looks awesome :D
-
So Deck went standard laser etched coating caps? :(
-
They look just like Ducky's to me.
-
Is there anything other than the font to indicate that these are future Decks?

Ehhhh the spacebar :)
-
If you look close, you can make out the deck logo on the spacebar in the bottom right one. Also, is not the heinous fantasy font enough?
-
Another possibility would be that they borrowed the caps from a Deck because their own ones were not done yet, eh?
-
Maybe, but if I were them I would have just not had keycaps at all lol. It would be nice if those rumors from before were true with the clear/black doubleshots. If they release them with that damn fantasy font they are doomed.

Another image...

So TG3 sold the Deck brand to Heng Yu?
-
Ah...your eyesight must be better than mine. The spacebar thing just looked like a squiggle to me until you told me what it was. I was thinking the font could have been an imitator or just similar thinking about what constitutes a "gaming" font.
-
So TG3 sold the Deck brand to Heng Yu?
Wasn't TG3 just the OEM of the Deck board and Deck itself is a company? (like Costar is the OEM of the Filco Majestouch, but the Filco brand is owned by Diatec)
-

That was my thought as well.
-
TG3 owns Deck. Those boards appear to have a standard curved row profile, TG3 does a flat profile.
-
Ugh, that font is so horrible!
-
A friend just sent me this from the CeBIT...
Not much of a friend if they didn't ask the sales guys if they bought Deck or not.
TG3 is either hurting or printing money for the lack of effort they've put into Deck in the last 5 years. Friggen Ducky is coming out with sublimated keycaps and these jokers don't have any boards with Brown or Blue switches.
-
So I did a quick search...seems like Heng Yu may be some kind of supplier to TG3.
I'd be interested to know how much of Deck production actually occurs overseas. Probably at least the cases, considering that the Deck Legend shares its case with a PLUM full-size:

Hey do you know the name of that PLUM keyboard?
Nevermind it's calling the "Morphling"
-
I wisk they would resume production of their mini keyboards.

Resume production? They are still in stock.

They gotta stop using that font.... :D

I have to say I like Razer font and CM Storm font. But I still can't stand Deck font.
-
My Deck Legend "Toxic" is still a beast after 3 years. I don't mind the font (even though its not popular).
PS: hello guys, first post in 2 years or so...this place is sure different.
-
Looks nice... aside from that font >.<

There is only one model and only in one layout.

It sure is different. I come and go and am frequently surprised by sudden drastic changes.

dude you have one of my quotes in your signature! dope. dats some wu-tang **** right there.

Not everyone is a keyboard lunatic like us...
I asked him if he could look out for keyboards n take some pictures, he did, mission accomplished!
-
still this ugly font...
-
They look just like Ducky's to me.
Looks more like Vortex One and Oni to me. Ducky's case has a block on block look, and One/Oni's case has that ridiculously high angle too.
-
Still with the wizard font. Strangest marketing decision ever. Pass.

Razer and CM fonts are ugly.
I don't know why I like decks font. I'm pretty minimalistic.
-
If only Deck would make a board with a less bloated looking housing, key caps with a decent profile instead of flat, better overall build quality, at a lower price point. Wait, I think I just talked myself into buying another Filco.
-
Ugh, that font is so horrible!
That's Deck's Trademark ;-)
-
If the kept their overall quality - I'm In for a 3rd Deck (even a 4th) Deck on my lineup.
-

I hope not... The two parts PBT caps they are using in their current models is one of the features that makes them "best" backlit boards on the market (in my humble opinion)

Pic below of Hengyu counter at CeBit 2009 ... It seams that Deck has been hanging around Hengyu for a while

If they could decrease the height of the Deck 82 by 25% it would be perfect.
