You'll have to make those yourself...  System 76 is an Ubuntu systems distributor...  I'm getting 2 or 3 sets and can help the international members who want a set as it seems they are only available in the US...

Now we just need someone who provides a free SASE service to send system76 our envelopes!

I agree with ripster just sand blast the lettering of the top of the key and be done with it.

lol, yeah, I'll just drag the ol' sandblaster from the garage and have at it.

The last time I saw a sandblaster was when I was a kid and my neighbor was sandblasting his camero down to the metal. Went through a whole bunch of sand before he was done. But what do I know. Maybe there is a personal size sandblaster that can be used.

I can understand completely where some people just don't understand but for some of us it can be the most annoying thing. I don't want to see the windows logo on any computing hardware that I own. Yeah, that may be silly and irrational to some, but I don't run windows. And I don't want to have to look at that logo.


On another note, I like how the HHKB makes it the "diamond key". Thats at least neutral.

It's a pity that the key stickers are only available to people in the U.S. :(
Zwmalone, thanks for the offer, that is very kind!  Although it could be a bit hard putting a sticker on the bump of the newer Vista style keys.   Maybe that's the reason they made the key like that, to make it harder glueing something over it.  Time for some conspiracy theory?  :)

+1 for you, buddy. I thought I was alone in this.

I run that garbage only in a padded cell (really liking VirtualBox btw) and only when absolutely necessary. I meant it!
