I have a Das Keyboard.  I found a company on-line that makes stick-on
labels for the keys.  It is DataCal: www.datacal.com, Phone:
1-800-223-0123 or Fax: 1-480-545-8090.  This keyboard comes closest to
some of the old teletype keyboards I used to use back in the 60s when I
was in the AF working in communications Relay stations.
