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.

@PeterK is currently "out of commission" from a broken hand injury. Apologies for the delay and lack of updates for this drop (if he could type with his mind right now, he would).
The vendor has let us know that they have produced several batches of the Human After All Titanium Keycaps, but the titanium is incredibly difficult to work with and are continually unsatisfied with the consistency in the finished quality.
We understand that this may be the last thing you guys would like to hear, but we have made the difficult decision to cancel this drop. We apologize for having kept you all waiting for such a long time, but we did not want to settle for less on the quality of these keycaps.
Our vendor is continuing to work on the best possible production solution for these keycaps and we hope to bring back this drop in the future.
A follow up email from our Community Support should be hitting your inbox very soon, cancelling details and instructions will be stated.
Apologies again for the delay and inconvenience, thank you all for the support.
@donjoan @JMatt Thank you for the memes, we always appreciate your honest feedbacks whether they are in words or pictures :) They keep us in check and improve.
IT WAS SHORT BUT HAPPY TO FIGHT ALONG WITH YA @JMatt!!!

Still, all @Sm00ganz said should have been considered beforehand. Can't agree more. It doesn't look professional at all.
But then again who does.
Good bye ma blinky blinky single robot BEEP BBOP BBEP keycap who was supposed to be located at "}/]". After this note I can let you go w/o any feeling. At least I'll try. (BGM: Bioshock Infinite Soundtrack - 03 - Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Choral Version) )
