Regarding keycaps, it would possible to 3d print this keycap in black but leaving the letter/symbol "engraved" or without any infill at all? This way you would have custom keys and backlight.
I got my own printer and would like to try but it would help to get the dimensions for this cap.
Or, if you want to get evil with a drill press... Take a normal keymat, drill out the symbols from the middle of the keys you want to change (just the first 0.1mm or so depth), print what you want onto a sheet of paper, cut all those little letters out, put them inside the key caps and install. The white paper would glow around the black letter - or if you prefer, print inverted or color letters on blacked out paper. The backlight is pretty strong - it should shine through a piece of copy paper without much issue.
