Hello key cap geniuses! :)
I recently got a Keycool84 with blue leds and mx reds and i am looking for 4 keycaps for it.
The reason is that i re-mapped 3 of the keys on my keyboard to fit my needs and i want it to look like it too..
I marked the key caps i want to replace with red arrows in the photo of the keycool84 below.

So, all i am looking for is:
1) A spacebar that looks like this (with a line that lets the led light come through): (http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq218/s0undc10ud/spacebar_zps0ed49faf.png) (http://s449.photobucket.com/user/s0undc10ud/media/spacebar_zps0ed49faf.png.html)
2) A "Volume up" keycap (a "+" only key cap would also do the job) that will replace the "PgUp" stock key cap
3) A "Volume down" keycap (a "-" only key cap would also do the job) that will replace the "PgDn" stock key cap
4) A "Mute" key cap (an "x" key cap would also do the job at worst case scenario..) that will replace the "End" stock Keycap
I looked everywhere for these key caps with no luck. I need them to be laser etched (or something like that) in order to let the led light pass through..
Your help would be really appreciated as i am trying to make my keyboard fit my needs..
Thank you in advance!

Try http://www.wasdkeyboards.com I know you can get pretty custom there, i'm not to sure about the space bar tho.

Hello and thank you for replying!
I am a noob on this and i don't know what sizes to look for the PgUp, PgDn and End keycaps..
Also how can i tell if a keycap is backlit friendly and lets the led light shine through? Is the term "laser etched" enough to go with this option?
