Many Many years ago (1980 ish) I was involved in what were known at the time as Microcomputer Terminals. These were Z80 based machines running CP/M which used serial Terminals (VDU's) for I/O. We created some software which required custom key caps so I (as the junior!) was sent off with a bag of blank keys down to a local company who engraved lettering into the surface of the keys which was then filled with some white paint - et voila - customised keycaps. Wind the clock forward 40 years (that's scary!) and things like cnc routers are more common place - I have a desktop CNC router myself and I can see that it would be no major issue to cut letters and words into the surface of a blank key. Assuming one had or had access to a small router, that would be a way of achieving your goal. Just my 2 cents as they say! Richard
