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.

He only designs the keyboard casing and leaves the PCB to one of his friends to design and manufacture.
He's been doing it for years and I have a few of his designs but lately his prices are sky rocketing hence best to look elsewhere. Not saying his work is bad, it's quite good but the pricing is getting quite ridiculous.
At least here on MD, I can buy some designer looking keyboards for the kids without busting the bank account.
There are very few current designs wanting to use old age type writer designs in a 60% size. In fact you may be the very first individual to do that here.
Also the colours you picked help push this design into a rare status worthy of a decent design, despite ignorant spurting from a tiny minority.
You have a following here so don't get too depressed about that, it shows you're doing something right and we do appreciate what you've done. After all we're all here with our money and that says something far more than anything else.
