Well done. Was it any cheaper that way?

It's pretty easy to swap the key-tops around, and you can buy a spare 
keyboard for $20 or so on eBay, to have some spares to experiment with. 
I should guess that a very small amount of acetone, applied carefully 
with a paintbrush might do it (acetone melts plastic). Otherwise, try 
some really fine-grit sandpaper, wrapped around a finger-tip.
