"In older [keyboards] – those from the early 1960s laboratory computers, or the 1980s microcomputers – the way every key was constructed was by first molding the letter from plastic of one color, and then grabbing a different plastic and molding the key around the letter."
This makes me want an old keyboard. Amazing how hardy keyboards were back then.
you can still get them like that - the search term is "double shot" for using two molds. very popular and durable for custom keycaps.
