i have a deck legend with clear which i paid 200 for around 4-5 years ago and i would say it's worth it. Ignoring the font the keyboard is amazing it's more durable than anything i've had in the pass and the double shot caps + quality led they use makes it last alot longer. For comparison on the cap lifetime i have a cm quickfire i use with my laptop were the font wore off after 6-7 months of use while the doubleshots while glossy will never loss the letter/number
mistaxglossy isn't really acceptable tho. it's like saying, oh well i can do with some michelin tires that are worn, they are still michelin. oh but no, a knock off fresh tire would smoke its performance.
lyrillwell i don't think there is any type of caps that will prevent it from turning glossy. Most keyboard i use will end up turning glossy and lose their font in about 4-5 months.
mistaxthese are PBT keycaps, which is the better plastic, either you have a fake deck or very greasy fingers because these keys cant really get glossy because of the fact that they are PBT plastic and not ABS (ABS makes your keys all shiny and glossy)
