I would suggest QWERkeys. They have some pretty awesome keycaps. Even though most of them are for non-backlit keyboards, they have some cool transparent keys for WASD.

 

Edit: A picture of my keyboard with QWERkeys transparent keycaps:

 

 

very bright

No problem dude! Post pics of your keyboard when you get it all customized. Would love to see it.

Small tip : Try not to get white ABS. They will turn yellow when exposed to UV rays overtime. http://deskthority.net/wiki/Keycap_construction for short brief.

I'm not sure posting ebay stores here is against the rules. Just waiting for an answer before I pull the trigger. Some single keycaps might cost as high as the keyboard price depending on the user decision.

You're talking about clacks, like the Cinn Ironman and Girldc pumpkin/ghost clacks which are pretty costly.....can even cost more than a keyboard actually. I think Maxkeyboard has a set of 104 keys translucent key caps (top printed legends IIRC), and they aren't expensive, I'm still wondering if I should get a set.....

i'm not sure if you're using clacks as a catchall for all novelty keys (cinn + girldc keycaps aren't clacks). 

 

clacks are the keycaps made by the 'clack factory'(skulls, leaves, layered - oktoberfest, candycorn etc.); other highend keycaps have their own 'brand names' (brobots, cinn/monster, alessandro's cakes, etc.).

My bad, I tend to use the term 'clack' to cover all those highly priced novelty key caps.....bad habit I have got to break. And yes, you're right'clack' is specifically used for those novelty key caps made by the 'Clack' factory.
