Translucent Cherry MX Keycaps

hi there,

 

I'm looking for dark translucent keycaps for cherry mx switches. i don't want them to have any printing at all. as i only need ten R3's, eight R2's and seven R1's (all 1x1, two of the R2's as "Line" version for "f" and "j" key) , a full set would not be necessary.

so far i only found the translucent caps at http://www.maxkeyboard.com/keyboard-parts/key-cap/full-keycap-sets.html, but those are full sets and would not fit the german keyboard layout due to their inscription.

as always, your help here is highly appreciated  ;)

The closest I can think of is getting two of these? But sadly, there aren't enough R3s included.

I can't think of another solution. I know the full set is made to fit as many mechanical keyboards as possible though, so here's a picture of the included keys to give you an idea of whether you could replicate a German layout or not:

unfortunately the german layout includes "Ä", "Ü" and "Ö". also the entire number row is different. 

would you mind posting a picture of your ducky with the translucent keycaps in use? i'm planning to get those for my shine 3 ;)
