texturing a keyboard

I was wondering how to put the letters on top of the keys on this laptop.
Is there a way to map the letter textures on the keys without having to make 105 materials for the respective keys?

Thanks.

Certainly. I'd probably grab the top faces of each key and planar map them from above. This would arrange the UVs in a way that you could create one texture to do it.
