Yes ... cannibalizing a PC keyboard might be a solution, provided you can come
up with a way to modify the keycap legends. MicroSwitch once made keyboard
switches that had an undersized keycap with a clear plastic cover that was
"normal" sized. You could put a paper legend underneath the clear cover,
obviously, and thereby avoid having to replace it all the time, not that
replacing it would be a big chore.
