Jon,

You might try an office supply store to see if they have packages of  
small stickers. I've seen some small, round stickers that would be the  
right size for an individual  key, plus you would be able to write on  
them. Probably better to write out the letters first, then apply them  
to a keyboard. However, I recommend trying it on a spare keyboard first.

Also, you might look into some companies that make keyboard labels.   
If you were buying enough of them, or could convince them there's a  
market, you might be able to get some professional labels made.
