a very good job on them. They're still...membrane keypads, though. Eeew.
There are companies ("Fourth" came to mind, I used their products many
times) that produces real keyboards (beyond membrane and chiclet ones)
in Brazil.
They produce them to spec? I wonder if they can do small quantities.
Another option might be those keyswitches that have transparent
keycaps, under which you can stick labels.
Of course I adore those keyswitches that have a tiny color OLED
display in them. At $50+/ea that'd make a pretty expensive calculator
though.
