I have vintage Tai Hao Alps keycaps as well as these; quality-wise they are similar. Not super thin but not thick either, they sound good with clicky Alps switches. They are nicely textured too.
But...
You're missing some very important keycaps for vintage Alps keyboards: 7u spacebar, 1.5u Control/Alt keys, and stepped Caps Lock.
I was expecting it to be quite thick since it's doubleshot, but the walls of the keycaps were very thin, about half of that of GMK. It does enhance the sound of ALPS switches with the thinness, but I wish it was more high quality. They are one of the only few modern alps keysets you can buy, so I'm not complaining too much.
Decent for the price, given all the available options for Alps
Overall the set is fine for the price. Alps sets are hard to come by, so having any readily available for purchase is already a plus. The set has some issues with quality, as some keys have extra material from the injection molding process. My "+" key on the numpad has a chip where the injection molding nub is. I'm not that dissatisfied by it, since I don't plan on using the numpad caps, but if you plan on using this set for a full-size, that's something to consider. I'm fairly confident this won't happen to all sets, qc could be improved.
I was already aware of the spacebar having mx-mount, but it seems that some purchasers were not aware of it, but I would suggest drop to include this in the product description. To people wondering how to use the spacebar with alps stabs, there's a 3d-print file for mx-mount alps spacebars stab clips. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3922644
Awesome replacement keycaps for Alps, I have two Issues, the Spacebar requiring the use of costar/cherry stabs, and the fact that there is no irregular keycap support, Short shift, stepped caps, and 2.25/2.75u spacebar keys would be a great addition to the sets. Other than that doubleshot alps caps that are readily available in 2021, not much to complain about.
