I just randomly ran into this website:
http://shop.hooleon.com/
They do sell some keyboard related stuff I haven't seen elsewhere, mainly stickers, relegendables and accessories for Model M. Somebody may be interested in their stuff, it doesn't look like this was ever linked before.

They were known on the old Geekhack, for example for their DIY homerow nibs. They might not haven been mention on Deskthority yet though.

[Necro] I just stumbled on this old advertisement which led me here. It seems this outfit is no more.
It even seems their equipment was auctioned.

I just picked up this Hooleon key cap from a seller on eBay.
Searching this number online I found this old advertisement:
"A common problem with terminal keyboards is that the characters on the keys do not reflect what the keys actually do. Inexpensive stick-on labels quickly wear off. One solution is purchasing a kit of both die-cut plastic overlays cut to the size of the key tops and rub-on letters. Such kits, offered by Hoolean Corporation, supplies keys for IBM, DEC and Apple equipment, and applications including emulations, word processing, accounting/ spreadsheets, non-English language and more. Customizing is available. The cost of the kits is a function of the keyboard, but prices range from $20-$30 generally.
