I'd much rather buy multiple sets of this than a singular pack of 30th edition
Edit: and now I don't even have the option to buy 30e because the "sale concluded"

My alpha and arrow keycaps are solid stainless steel with shine through (through a piece of plastic inside acting as a diffuser). I dare anyone to say they're of poor quality. Haha.

You took a lot of downvotes there (I tried to compensate a bit) in spite of making total sense. Lots of people here are so deep in their rabbit hole and have so much confirmation bias that they can't bear to hear the truth.
South facing is not just a problem for shine through keycaps which many will argue are rare and of poor mostly poor quality. I found a couple which are actually very decent but I admit they are rare. South facing is also horrible for keyboard lighting pattern between the keycaps. It is gross to the point where it makes any lighting of the keyboard practically unusable: The bottom row shines blinds you while the second row is darker than the first and third etc... I completely understand if the board has no LED but selling that as a "feature" like what so many brands like Keychron and now Akko do makes me want to vomit.
All this for what benefit? Compatibility with expensive but defective keycaps called GMK which use a low profile design yielding poor sounds solved by thickening of the keycaps and creating some marginal interference with some specific switches. That's the definition of a rabbit hole right there... Nearly everyone in the community keep on repeating what they have heard ("South facing is better and for enthusiasts") without trying it for themselves. I tested it for myself with a lot of Cherry profile caps and the interference is extremely rare and very easily solved in multiple fashion. The South facing boards trend is the result of a phenomenon of mass stupidity.
I too have been looking for a quality aluminum keeb which to my chagrin doesn't or no longer exist because every enthusiast keeb now is south facing. I ended up having to build my own...

What keycaps are they? Remind me of some YMDKs I saw a while back.
