EK have some new pad-printed coloured keycap sets for $20: http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=special&filter=tampo

I just noticed on their front page it says "Economical universal Cherry MX keycap sets in multiple colors are now available. (More colors to come!)" - interesting.

Although these are pad printed and thus likely to wear out much, much sooner than your keyboard.

Also someone here has already ordered a set (or two?) so hang out for the review.

Oh, Sanctuary!  You want something a bit more exotic ;)

There was a GB for that, which has now ended.

Originative was selling them, but apparently not any more.

You might be lucky in Classifieds, but should expect to spend at least $100 for a set.

I was expecting to pay about 60 so if you know any "exotic" keyset for that price tell me the name please :)

That is group buy prices - you'd have to join a group buy for that, preferably a more popular GB so that volume discounts apply.

Or Techkeys has the Turtle Power set for $90: http://techkeys.us/collections/keycap-sets/products/turtle-power-set
