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.

I just wanted to be sure that I'll get 1 keytester and 1 20$ coupon for each keyboard I've ordered. I ordered 3 keyboard with my friends on 1 bill and I would be really disappointed tell them they wont get any compensation for that huge delay.

To confirm yes, you will be getting the key switch tester. We actually are having the first available quantity that just finished being manufactured air shipped to Massdrop ASAP.
In regards to the $20 coupon, as mentioned in my previous posts, we are in talks of finalizing the compensation for this delay. Once I receive an update from headquarters on the finalized compensation, I will definitely update you all.
Thank you
As I am new to this community and to working with Nelson here at Massdrop, I believe that will depend on Massdrop and what they decide. Like I mentioned, we are only shipping the items to Massdrop, we have no control over who they ship to and what items they ship.
But if the deal was that you receive 1 key tester for every keyboard, then I believe you would receive 3.
Thank you
