You can still mark these with a permanent marker a sticker or another marking device. While these caps mount securely to standard Cherry MX switches there is one important lighting detail to keep in mind for your project:Translucent: Many Cherry MX switches have an LED spot that shows up beautifully with these keycaps giving your build a diffused glow. However since the keycap has a darker tone the glow may be a little more subdued.Keyboards actually have many types of keys. We all know the space bar and caps lock look different. But what about the "J" and "F " which tend to have a small ridge on them so you know where your fingers go? Not to mention all the different letters and such. But did you know that even within the letters each row of keys has a different slant? We decided to go with an R2 keycap as a nice middle ground to get you started.
