Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row.

Very interested in getting both keyboards and trying out both styles of switches. During the Day use the Blues but at Night, use the Reds ; )
After wasting my money on these type of keyboards I ALWAYS go back to my Model-M's and F's. Just so glad I have them in my life than a whole crate full of Havit's.
I'm the wrong person to get any support for the current made keyboards because nearly always, they lack real performance and joy when using them. The OLD keyboards have soul and this new keyboard 'junk' is exactly that.
If you like these very thin style of keyboards then there is nothing wrong with them, the one I bought which is a Daeru TKL version (same version with Blue switches), is fine to use.
The only good thing about them is the aluminium plate that gives it rigidity, so there is no flexing or movement of the keyboard casing when using it. With my hands and fingers pounding away at the keyboard it didn't buckle or strain.
