Good cleaning, of course. No need for additionnal finish, varnish, laque or clear coating on top of it?

Did you just cut and paste the link I provided as an example?
I simply took the one on top of the Google stack.

Welly covered his Unicomp in Industrial Velcro. And fake "perky" nubile, nubian, nubby F/J nubs.

I like nubil nubs... I married one. But it was no good sticker. Got my divorce certificate couple months ago.

You wrote unicomp but the picture looks more like realforce. Is this really a Unicomp?

Welly also did disgusting things with his Endurapro.  Search for Silencing Your Endurapro in the Mods section.

Plenty of key replacement options for MX and IBM boards. I know.
I'm now looking at stickers because of the lack of better options for Topre.

I'd love to have a more visible font on my Black 87U.
I can't find a keyset for the top F row and Number row

Wha Topre not high contrast enuf for ya?  It's Helvetica.  I think.

Exactly. At least if they were engraved the light dispersion would be more obvious. I don't care about Aa-Zz but I'd love a replacement set for F's and top #'s

I like that

This IS the recommended Topre fix for Furries.

OK but how did he do the white fonts on the number line?

beaujoie  (https://catalogue-ca.beaujoie.com/common_files/pages/fr/politiques.php)is doing very nice stickers, very good quality but no transparent...

clavier-azerty (http://www.clavier-azerty.com/) is selling some transparents, good quality too (website sucks all in flash, worst that unicomp)

See the link.  Read and weep.  I was tempted to report Welly to NOW.

Realforce in boxers. Sigh... What's next, Panda in thong?

I was looking at that keyboard label site a few weeks ago when trying to find some glow in the dark labels for the media buttons on my GKM56R:

So far no dice, but I have gotten better at counting notches to locate the right button in the dark...

(I realize I have disparaged non-backlit HTPC keyboards here in the past, but this was < $20 after rebate -- I'm not made of steel!)
