Is there anything other than the font to indicate that these are future Decks?

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.

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.

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)

TG3 owns Deck.  Those boards appear to have a standard curved row profile, TG3 does a flat profile.

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:

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

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.

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.

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)

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