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. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....

*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard
I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

Polymer clay
Don't drop crazy cash on custom wood builds! Instead go buy polymer clay and paint. Then you can spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make it look like you can afford to drop crazy cash on...

Want to build a Clicky Mech Keyboard. Where to begin?
Hello all. Am brand new to the idea of building my own keyboard. Have not a clue where to begin this process. I am a Sim Game enthusiast. American Truck Sim, DCS Flight Sim and goes from there. Need some real help on where to start for making my own Full Size, Clickey Mechanical KB. I want each key to have its own backlighting. Are there keys that are better than others for this? Is there a great spot on site for a person who has never even taken a keyboard apart? Let alone fixed or built one? I would like it to fit my theme of Red and Black. Yet maybe have the option of changing things up a bit. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all kindly, Durazell

- Did any of the colors change? Which other sets are they similar to?
For the first round, I had GMK color match 6 ABS colors from Signature Plastics. This time, I will be adding one more, the beige legend color. Previously, this was simply the L9 standard color from GMK, but for V2, I will have them match GAL from Signature Plastics to give it a bit more of the beige that I love about the SA version of this set. The rest will remain the same as before. The dark gray modifier base color is the same as GMK Carbon's, both are based on SP's GQM color code. The gray alphas are also the same as GMK Space Cadet for the base color, the legend color is different though (Space Cadet being more creamy white and Oblivion being beige). This will leave the only GMK standard color being CP for the Hagoromo Alphas, everything else is custom.- Why the hell are there 4 different Base Kits?
Due to GMK's production and sorting workflow being best suited for high volume production of Base Kits, I've opted to have three standard Base Kits with the three different Modifier Types, and the fourth Assembly Base Kit for Ergo/Ortho/40% layouts. Now this will of course mean we won't have as many exciting price breaks on a single Base Kit like other sets have had (e.g. GMK Laser dropping by 10$ for each time it hit 250/500/1000 and 1500 units) as buyers are more spread out, but on the upside we don't have to see our shopping cart already breaking 200$ when we just wanted to buy the Base Kit with Git or Monochrome Modifiers as an addon kit. The 500 price break for the Base Kits are still very exciting though, giving us 20$ off for Git and 15$ off for Regular and Monochrome, and I think those are realistic to achieve. All in all, I believe that this approach will give the best pricing to the majority of participants, while other kit structures that I explored mostly benefited a smaller portion of people.- What does the 'c' stand for in some of the key sizes shown in the kits?
Keys labeled with this letter are convex in shape, which is the shape of a spacebar. The 1.25u and 1.75u keys in the Spacekeys kit are not labeled as such as GMK does not have convex molds for these key sizes at this time.
