I suppose you could just dye some white ones any color you want, and i believe they are PBT.

Not sure you would get enough interest to create a GB through SP, though. Unless they have ready stock available.

I'm pretty sure not all are PBT. Mine are Dyesub, but others are lasered or pad printed. I suspect the black ones are POM or ABS. The Beige should be PBT (like I have) or ABS.

Does anyone have a lasered or pad-print G84 they would like to look under the keycaps?

Looks to me like they just get and re-sell SP keycaps.
