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.

Anyone having troubles with their keyboard should email us at support@massdrop.com and we'll work with KBC's warranty group to troubleshoot/fix/replace your keyboard. Anyone who received the wrong board erroneously (back lit or not, etc), will have their boards replaced with the correct one.
That's how I found it, just took that e-mail address and used my own email account.
Last night I got a reply from massdrop staff requesting pictures and a description of what happened, to which I responded within 10 minutes.
We'll see what happens next.
I almost feel bad but, shouldnt keycaps come off and go on fairly easily? especially if you are using the provided tool..
Just add to @Mark's comment from earlier. We have been monitoring feedback on the Poker II Keyboards with Cherry MX Clear and we are very aware of the manufacturing defects a few of the members are having with their keyboards.
Please email support@massdrop.com If you have any problem with the keyboard, and we'll take care of it.
We have been coordinating with KBC on the schedule for the replacement keyboards. The shipment for the replacement keyboard is being prepared by KBC as we speak, and we are told it'll be ready to be shipped out to us from China before the end of next week. Assuming no delays from China/US customs, we are hopeful we can get replacement keyboards shipped out before Sept 26.
Thanks for your support.
