Colored buttons

The switches used are Kailh Choc Mini PG1232 Low Profile Switches

Since they are in use in actual keyboards, keycap designs already exist in Thingiverse, e.g. this one, and this one

When all you want to do is color-code the 3 synth buttons and the shift button, you don’t even need to add text to it.

Somebody added a wish for that:
