Some time ago after a question about keyboards, maybe not here, I wondered
about them and e-mailed a company that makes keys with little LCD displays.
That way you can make a programmable custom keyboard, with any keys
you want.  The price is still a little too high, though. 

I believe that there are already companies that will make custom keycaps,
and sell the keyboard to go with them.  There is an NRE charge, so it is
cheaper for each if you can make a large order.
