I seem to have something of a fetish for Otaku (blank) keyboards. After getting an Otaku Leopold several years back, I converted my Unicomp to blank black keycaps and also have a CM Storm QFR with blank POM keycaps.
Now I've preordered a V80 MTS with Quiet Click switches, and would like to convert that as well. Unfortunately, I don't know of a supplier for blank ALPS keycaps. Matias seems to offer blank keycaps for the 60% board on their website, but that's only 60% vs TKL, and it looks like the bottom row on that board is nonstandard.
I honestly don't care whether the caps are PBT or ABS, so long as they are blank. The V80 MTS comes with doubleshots, so I can't sand the legends off or anything like that. My preference would be black keycaps, although white or beige would be ok too.

I am offering a few blanks sizes in my Alps group buy (see my signature), but not all the sizes needed for a full board, unless it's a Planck or Atomic.

Welcome to Geekhack!
More Alps love - there seem to be a slowly increasing number of Alps keycap sets around. As you might expect they start with traditional or highly sought after colourways, like Dolch, but eventually full blank sets in various colours should be available.
A little patience is all that is needed :)
