Apparently Korea already had a small run of these, they do look pretty damned amazing.

How recent? Any posts about these or pics?

Custom key tops like this (but with modified LED cutouts) could be useful for an RGB backlit keyboard using 2x5x5mm LEDs:

I know we couldn't have Cherry on the covers because of legal issues but couldn't we have "GeekHack" or even "GH" with iMav's permission?

Curious about how brittle these will be.  It's easy to bend the tabs on the housing tops when opening switches with a mini screwdriver, and if one is not careful, those tabs can bend farther than seems safe.  But normal black housing is quite flexible, so no harm is done.  For some reason I associate clear like that with more brittle plastics.

Round 2 looks like it will be more popular with some of these changes:
-- Model allowing easy removal with LED
-- Model possibly with "geekhack" text

Yeah, Plastic flexibility is important.
Don't want them to crack if we try to open them repeatedly.
