If you're willing to settle for keys that have the wrong legends, as would be the case if you used 30b keys, then manufacturing new keys isn't a problem either. I've 3d-printed keys with no legends without any trouble, and injection-molding them without legends isn't that big a deal. It's getting quality legends that's difficult. We're not going to get double-shot molding. The next best choices for long life are laser marking or dye sublimation. The only processes with low NRE are pad printing or adhesive overlays.

Or you could wait until this technology gets cheaper:

And just print them in colour .
