I've seen sets of navy blue blank keycaps but never a set of black blank keycaps. Are they for sale anywhere on Earth?

Or buy a keyboard that has them already installed

He wants blank caps.

Exactly, completelly blank, without front legends. I just need a bunch of them.

Sorry my brain totally skipped over the blank part.
What are you wanting to do with them that you need a bunch?

I'd like to replace the top right row of a couple of Leopolds FC980M (the keys with del, ins, pgup, pgdn) since I'd like to assign custom functions to them.

Leopold used to sell a lot of blank "Otaku" variants (FC200R, FC500R, and much more rare FC700R.) So far AFAIK there are no FC750R's with any blank caps. However there are FC660M's with blank black caps that you can steal from but that's as close as you'll get.

Yeah, after looking at many ebay stores and webpages in general, I've come to the conclusion that they do not sell black blank keycaps, although they have to make them for the models you've mentioned. What I don't know is why they sell blue navy blank but not black. Another option I have for the Leopold FC900M is to leave del, ins (which, after all, are not useless in that position) and then change pgup and pgdn with printscreen and pause. For that I'd need some black front printed keycaps with these legends. I've e-mailed Leopold directly with the hope (very remote) that they send me some of these keys.

I have a Leopold FC200R "Otaku" set that i'm not using... got anything in trade?
-
The problem is that I'm from Spain. I think I will finally keep the default pgup and pgdn keycaps although they are remaped to custom functions. Or maybe, later on I will order a set of front printed keycaps which are sold as replacements for the FC900R, which include printscreen and pause, so I can restore those 2 keys. It will be crazy to pay for more than 100 keys when I only need 2, but there's no other option.
-
Let me know if Leopold gets back to you, as I'm also looking for a full set of Blank Black Keycaps from them for my FC660M.
Figured I'd learn on one with a legend, then buy the caps later. Little did I realize they don't actually sell the blank black caps separate. Really kicking my own ass about that.

I own a set of blank black Leopold pbt caps for FC660M. Please message me if interested.
