Is it possible to buy "Ninja Style" keyboard stickers?

[grasshopper]

Hi,

I'm considering buying a set of plain black keycaps for my IBM Model M, partly because they look cool, partly to encourage me to learn to touch type, but mainly because black keys with white lettering are not available from Unicomp.

However, my lack of touch typing skills means that using a completely blank keyboard is going to be hard work, at least initially. So as a compromise, I though I could put some "Ninja Style" stickers on the keys.

I could make my own but they'd look like crap. So I'm wondering whether anyone here knows of anyone who sells "Ninja Style" keyboard stickers?

Thanks in advance.

Well-stocked plastic model stores have stickers in many fonts, sizes and colours. White with transparent background should be pretty common.
Transparent stickers for the top of keys are quite common on eBay ... in some languages other than English, and you would have to cut them down, I think. If I am not mistaken, Russian layout is the same as ANSI, only with extra Cyrillic letters.

Another option for ninja-style would be dry transfer lettering w/ clear lacquer sprayed over them.  e.g. found in model/hobby shops for decorating scale model race cars.

look at 4keyboars. You can buy the blank stickers to cover the old lettering, and use the lettered stickers (maybe the ones meant for netbooks) in front of the keycaps.

Given the front lettering is not subject to wearing you can also safely use the trasferelli/acrtiontransfer/kalkitos or wharever they are called in your country

With stickers some nice thing can be done on model Ms

They look ideal. Unfortunately, I don't speak Korean so I can't participate in the thread.

On a side note, it's a bit odd that Koreans seem to collect keyboards with western characters on the keys.

You could try these labels:

They come in blue or white.  You might have to trim them to fit on the front of the key since they are made to go over the key tops.

that person with the korean boyfriend could probably explain why
