One of the very few mech keyboards that is a good deal cheaper here in Australia vs the US. Similar to a Ducky in quality, feel and features. If you can get past the typeface font, these keycaps have a few advantages and disadvanteges vs the Vortex POM/PBT backlit ones you can buy seperately; the backlit characters are made of a more opaque plastic that is more easily visible when the backlight is turned off, at the cost of blocking only slightly more of the light when turned on. All keys with secondary characters have both lit instead of just one of the other on the Vortex caps, at the cost of slightly uneven lighting. The fit around the stem (at least in my experience) is less tight on these caps too. When using the Vortex caps, especially on switches with stabilizers, I found I had to use a lot more force to place and remove them, to the point of concern. Finally, the finish on the Deck keycaps I found to be slightly better all around (fewer mold lines, flakes of plastic etc) though in terms of general quality (uniform thickness, clarity of legends, weight, surface feel) the two sets are identical.

lyrillI was able to pick a Hassium Pro up for AU$120 (around US$90) and for that price there's simply no better board. Even at this price it's quite reasonable. Don't know who'd want to pay up to double for a non backlit TKL with ABS stock cap, but I bet they're the same kind of people who would turn their noses up at the best quality keycaps available over a slightly curly font.
