Anyone tried these ?

I sure would like to try a set or 2, but seems rather expencive - you could buy a couple of new keyboards for the same price.
($20 for 10 keys, + $10 s/h within the US)

And, for me (non-US) they don't accept intl credit cards, neither paypal - only wire service at a $25 extra fee... <sigh>
To add to my (wallets) misery, they only ship via Expresss Mail for international ($30+)... 😢

If any US based vogonians should happen to feel my pain, I would not say no to an offer of mediation.
(you do the purchase from them and ship to me, I paypal you)

And here are some other interesting pages I found when researching the clear ones:

Doesn't mention any price though. Wonder how much a full rorschach fitted keyboard set would cost.... 😁

PS: and if anyone has info on other suppliers of clear caps, please post away!

Sadly I was too late for these:

Thanks for the tip 😎

But....

What I really want is to change the visible text/whatever on top of some caps, temporarily.
My idea was to be able to print my own tiny labels as I saw fit, and change around etc... depending on what game I would be playing.
So clear caps is really what I need.

Though I of course also find custom caps/keys quite interesting(I wouldn't mind having a separate keyboard with those), my main quest for now is the simple interchangeability and functionalilty of the clear ones.
