Where can I buy mechanical keyboard keys?

I looked on eBay and people sell the 104 set of keys (I already have a keyboard, I just want a set of red keys for the looks) for $39.99. However, they are completely blank and I would need to do the engraving myself, which I do not know how to do.

Does anyone know where I can buy a set of 104 keys (that fir Cherry MX Blacks) that are engraved? Preferably red keys.

You have to change the color of the keys yourself. You can also customize the engraving of the keycaps.
When you checkout, it will give you the option to only buy the keys.

Click on one keycap, change the color to red in the menu and check the box at the bottom to apply changes to the whole board. All the keycaps will turn red and engraved with no fill.

Your'e welcome

I wanted a board so bad with red keycaps myself. Didn't want to paint or dye a different set red.
I ended up buying a KBC Poker, but I'll always remember to get them from WASD.
Great guys there, spoke to them yesterday about buying rubber O-rings.

Our current price is $14.00 a pack with free shipping and comes out to be about the same from McMaster-Carr if you factor in the shipping. They only use UPS Ground, so even if you ship to a commercial address, it's going to be around $4.50+ just for the shipping.
