So I did some searching on here and google and images to find nothing. My question is, does anyone make/sell Laser Engraved Ninja PBTs?

It's already hard enough to see the legends on the top engraved keys, why do you want them on the sides?
-
Just in case someone else wants to use the keyboard and as a stepping stone to straight otaku keys. Also its a bit different.
I also had an idea of filling the engraved region with a different material. I will have access to a laser engraver shortly, may just make them my self :)

something like this?

Instead of looking for "ninja" keycaps, I would recommend trying "front printed", as that's the commonly used phrasing for everyone but filco (Diatec)

I was going to type Ninja™ but don't have numpad to type alt codes >___>
-
Well I searched front printed (even though engraving does not connote printing) but no luck. I'm joining a hackerspace in December that has a laser cutter. I may just make my own :)

I recently got my first mechanical - tried to get a white Ninja TKL red, but was told that white TKLs don't get made that much any more. To make a long story short, I ended up with a black Majestouch-2 red and a set of black 104 US Ducky PBT keys which I'm extremely happy with. I love the texture/feel of the PBTs, and I, too, like the hidden-away legends for the same reason that the OP does. AFAIK, these are laser etched.

I bought them in-person from here, but was told that they have limited runs/supplies of PBTs:

for NT1200 or about USD40. I also contacted Ducky channel directly earlier in the week about PBTs and they said they were currently out-of-stock.
hope that helps

Oooooo that's an old thread! You missed the one year anniversary by three days though :))

yup, I realized it's an oldie, but thought I'd just post the info in case anyone finds it useful.
As a side note, I just found this one recently (I have no idea - maybe this set was produced a while back, too):

Was about to order an US set (get a friend from Japan to buy and ship them to men) and then noticed that it was out-of-stock.
I'm quickly learning that popular sets can go really fast.

You have no idea how quickly some sets sell out!
Also, welcome to Geekhack!

Thank you.
I see some yummy sets in Group Buys: this is going to be an expensive hobby
