I'm looking for keycaps with the letter printed on the side, like on this keyboard : http://www.amazon.com/Filco-Majestouch-2-Tenkeyless-FKBN87M-EFB2/dp/B004ZJPSGI/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342798419&sr=1-2 but that let the light of leds pass through them =)
I'm basically looking for a complete set, or for a site where we can get them made so I can make custom ones (I checked on WASD but I didn't find the option).
Thanks in advance

I checked twice, and didn't see any :( I saw the semi-clear key caps, but that's not what I'm looking for :(

Ask qtan or check his esports store

I picked up an alpha set with arrows of side texted from this ebay link:
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-37-Keycaps-for-Cherry-MX-keyboard-Red-Side-Texted-Fast-Shipping-/110916061359?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item19d31cc8af#ht_1816wt_917 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-37-Keycaps-for-Cherry-MX-keyboard-Red-Side-Texted-Fast-Shipping-/110916061359?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item19d31cc8af#ht_1816wt_917))
It shipped for $13.99 USD, KBC boxed keys with a plastic keycap puller. Seem exactly the same profile/thickness of the filco ninja caps.

Well I've found something else, not what I wanted, but I felt in love with it when I saw it : translucent rainbow keycaps :D
I liked the normal version, but I didn't know a translucent version existed, I found it on taobao, so i'll order them there :)
thanks anyway for all the person that tryed to help me!

Hey, new to this hobby, and I actually had the same thing in mind as the OP, except I don't need keycaps that let illumination through. I actually ran across this same seller and was wondering about the shade of red of these keycaps -- would you describe them as light red / pinkish? Or faded red? Or bright, solid red? etc
Also, how long did shipping take?

The color of the keycap is accurate in the ebay listing. The lighting in the room I took the picture in wasn't the greatest, and I didn't bother to color correct. As for shipping time, i think it was under two weeks? It was probably closer to 7 days, but I don't check the mail that much. Besides, at $14, why not get them. You see the same or similar keycaps going for a few dollars to more than double that price.
