These aren't parts you will find "off-the-shelf". The molds we use for Nektar keyboards cost >$100k to tool.

Find out if there is a local maker space nearby. They may have a CNC machine and/or a 3D printer which can be used to make the custom parts you need. I understand that laser cut bamboo is pretty easy to work with and is rigid enough to stand up to heavy use. Or you could try using acrylic.
I think I've found a possibly suitable CNC Plastic place near me
