I'm looking for ideas to create my own legends on Model M key caps.

Does anybody have any good ideas?

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Agreed. All great ideas for desired keys.

I was too vague in my original post: Does anybody have any ideas on how to make IBM Model M key caps?

I've tried laser-printing onto clear mailing labels and it work fairly well, but eventually the labels come off.

I wonder if it's possible to send some blank M keycaps to a company that does dye-sub or uv printing on keycaps

Mega Man caps on Model M would be awesome
