I wish I could change the keycap of this key on every keyboard I own.

    "Cute little thing like that, yeah, I'll grab 20, one for each keyboard in the house, a few at work, a few left over for harmless pranks SEVENTY NINE DOLLARS clooose tab"
    I'm sure the quality is nice but I'm just gonna scribble Tux in with sharpie.

    You can but unless they're easily swapped with a ready made key it's usually not worth the time effort and cost.

    Couldn't you just place a sticker on top? I know that you'll either not get the led light or it's gonna look a bit funny in the dark if part of the windows logo shines through if the sticker is not thick enough, but you can place a tiny tux sticker there!

    That'll work, as long as you never touch it. Between skin oil and just the physical touching it wouldn't last long.

    One option is to pull the keycap off and paint over it. If you feel really crafty you can sand off the coating to make whole keycap translucent and use a stencil. Personally I don't look my keyboard that much that it'd bother me and it's made by microsoft anyways, their ergonomic keyboard is the best one I've used so far.
