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.

I was planning to put these on my k-type when it arrives but with the black bottoms it would most liked ruin the RGB of the board, that is my one big problem with these switches, they are not fully clear, I dont understand why you would make a switch only semi-clear.
The Colors that they picked for these switches are awesome.
- mod-L (magenta)
- mod-M (cyan)
- mod-H (orange)
- mod-SH (neon green)
Overall I am extremely happy with these switches, I paid 70 dollars for 90 of them and can say every dollar was worth it and honestly I can say I prefer these to zealios switches.You can buy them from https://originative.co/products/mod-switch
