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.

If anyone is in the market for a desk, I highly suggest you check it out. @ArozziScott, from Arozzi, is one of the best vendors on this site. Tell him I sent you. It won't get you a discount, but he'll get a kick out of it, or maybe not, haha. Seriously though, dude sent me replacement screws to adjust the height of the desk as well, since I lost mine like an idiot, and included extra parts I didn't need. Great company!
