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.

Cons: without the support feet on the bottom when im typing sometimes i accidentally hit the space bar since it's so light, but with the support feet it seems to be fine.) when i first took it out of the box i used my laptop to test and make sure the keyboard worked. for some reason it didn't. that computer had windows 8.1 on it, and im sure it could be fixed easily as there are many post's in the discussion page about that exact issue. but once i plugged it in to my windows 7 machine it worked fine with no issues.) since i have only used it for about 4 hours now i don't really have much to complain about since i don't have much time with it. but if i do find any other things i will update this post.)
if i had to give someone my opinion on whether they should buy this today i think i would say yes. there where some very small issues but all of them could be fixed by the user with very little effort. so far this keyboard is great!
*UPDATE* after having a little more than a day to use this keyboard i can say it's one of the best i have ever used. if your like me and have been trying to find a MX blue or Outeum blue switch RGB keyboard then look no further, i have been miss hitting the space bar less and less as i use more. very recommendable keyboard!
