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....

AND, here's my rough build guide on the easiest way to put the keyboard together - pics coming soon!
1) Install Stabilizers onto PCB 2) Place 3-4 switches into opposite corners of the case for pcb alignment('esc' + 'z', `]' + 'fn' etc.). 3) Turn keyboard upside down and place pcb onto switches, making sure none of the switch legs get bent. 4) lightly screw in the pcb to the top case. 5) Turn keyboard back over and install remaining switches 6) Tighten pcb screws and screw in bottom plate. 7) Add rubber feet to bottom of keyboard. 8) Install keycaps 9) Start typing!
what are these rubber things on the top of the case? do you remove them to put screws in?
That should have been removed during the manufacturing - it's used to block off the screw boss during anodization.
Try L-Shift + R-Shift + 0 to reset to the default alpha/num layer.
Here's some other cool stuff you can do by holding left + right shift: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/feature_command.md
Did you get this figured out?
