There is no low profile 75% aluminium case. There is a YMDK 84 Kit it has a low profile acrylic case,plate,stabs,pcb etc. Key caps can be easy bought separate. How the quality is no clue.
It looks like this.

This is nice. Is it a temp drop? Or is it always available?
- ninja keys, if there is one in the kit
- floating keys
- thin bezel
- programmable keys or the del keys on the very top right
- no LEDs
- alloy chassis
- nothing extra that isn't on other keyboards
Clearly, I am not going to get all of those, but I am OK with just some of those. So...
What's on the table right now available to purchase, about to drop and being spoken about?
Have you checked out http://keyboardcatalog.com/75-percent
Floating style (which generally also have thin bezels) restricts your selections in what is already a small selection of 75% boards.
If you mean ninja printed keycaps, you can always do that after the fact, and is the most realistic option.
Have you looked at the XD84 from kprepublic? They have some inexpensive floating-style cases, and you can use other "standard" 75% PCBs like KBD75, etc.
Not trying to sell you on stuff, but I have a Drevo Excalibur with mx brown switches, silvery aluminum alloy case, very minimal. It does have white backlit LEDs which are very easily disabled. DEL key is in top right corner. Easy OEM off-the-shelf option. Can be tricky to find through normal retail depending, but if you're in CONUS you can PM me if interested. I do have a set of ninja-printed keycaps that may also fit.
I actually like KDB75 but evidently it's of lower quality than say a Xeno or that other one that is of equal cost....
I do not buy used things. Not saying I am better, it's just a weird OCD thing of mine.
