Best bet would be to grab some used cherry doubleshot keycaps from eBay, though some pad printed keycaps will also satisfy your requirements.

Check ebay for cherry G80 or G81 keyboards with an "H", like this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Refurbished-CHERRY-Keyboard-Credit-Card-Reader-G81-7910HPBUS-2-/370540782746?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5645f3a49a

Now, keep in mind that that won't have all the keys, many are incompatible. To make it all work, you'd have to pick up a "moogle kit" in the GB forums.

Oh Noes, i just want Black keys with white not this beige crap.
Was hoping for some vendor that i could buy them off of.
Waste enough time on ebay as it is

And i thought G81s used the my switches?

G81's do use MY switches, but most of the keycaps are compatible with Cherry MX keyswitches. The ones that normally aren't are the capslock, and modifiers (pretty much anything on the spacebar row)
