I did not see metal keycaps for IBM.
it is good, but more expensive than the plastic keycaps,  
the transformer keycaps is mod by some Chinese users.

Yeah... tell me if and when you'll be making metal model M caps because I'd love some; more clatteryness.

they are made of the same material, but different surface.

If you want them for a long time and plan on actually using them you should get anodized ones.  Aluminum will oxidize if it's not ano'd and start turning your fingers black.  If you leave it long enough it will get rough and nasty looking.
You can ano them after sand blasting, satining, polishing or texturizing them.

yes, I do agree. it would be nasty if they were oxidized.
