This is about the only set of media keycaps I can think of that is backlight-friendly.

The problem is the backlight-friendliness.  Plenty of media keycaps around, but this is the only backlight-friendly media keycaps I can recall seeing.

Oh man, one day the Falcon 8 will be mine! An almost perfect media control keypad (a volume knob would be A+)

Maxkeyboards sells Gateron switches too ;)
