The "Das Keyboard" models with markings on key caps (the "ultimate" does
not have any, it forces you to blind type) use laser-etching for inscriptions, and that is as good as it gets... except I am not sure that even that will help a person who wears a Logitech keyboard in 6 months.
Like you, I also learned to type on an ancient, mechanical, typewriter. Unlike you, I have long ago made a "transition to electric typewriter" (as it was then called) and learned to both moderate the pressure applied to the keys and got the speed increase inherent to the use of advanced device.
Now, you said that you "learned" to type on mechanic typewriter, and I assume that means that you are "blind typing". What I fail to understand is why do you care for key inscriptions? Why not just pin a paper diagram with the layout on the side of your monitor if you need a reference for rarely used keys?
The click, heard on those MX switch equipped keyboard happens "halfway" down, the sounds is heard when a sufficient contact is made. It is a great aid to improve the typing speed, as the trick is to squeeze "just enough" to trigger the key.
You should consider working on your typing (I know, learning it is tough enough, "unlearning" it is bordering impossible) style not because of the rate of keyboard destruction, but because of your wrists and joints.
