Replacement Razer keys

You_are_a_cunt

I bought a used Razer Lycosa Mirror a while ago real cheap. It's working just fine, it only has some aesthetic issues, namely the key caps have rubbed off and I can now pretty much see blue blobs instead of the letters. W, A, S, D, E, C, Tab, Left Shift, Left Alt, Spacebar and Left Ctrl are affected.

 

I've checked the Razer site for replacements, but they don't offer anything for us membrane users ):

Also checked ebay and other sites for broken keyboards or separate keys for sale/auction, but I've come up short.

Not really willing to invest in a new keyboard just yet, so that's out the window.

I've tried contacting CS but they haven't replied so far (been at least a month now), so yah, anything short of pestering Min-Liang Tan on twitter might not work. /s

 

Does anyone know where else I could try looking for key caps that don't cost more than a new keyboard?

I've set up watchlists for cheap broken Lycosas on eBay but nothing so far.

 

 

I could also try to repair the caps myself,  but I have yet to find a viable method to do so (inb4 someone says paint them: I still want to see what key I'm pressing every now and then, so I have to figure out how to mask out the letter and paint around them)
