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....

*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard
I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

Polymer clay
Don't drop crazy cash on custom wood builds! Instead go buy polymer clay and paint. Then you can spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make it look like you can afford to drop crazy cash on...

Want to build a Clicky Mech Keyboard. Where to begin?
Hello all. Am brand new to the idea of building my own keyboard. Have not a clue where to begin this process. I am a Sim Game enthusiast. American Truck Sim, DCS Flight Sim and goes from there. Need some real help on where to start for making my own Full Size, Clickey Mechanical KB. I want each key to have its own backlighting. Are there keys that are better than others for this? Is there a great spot on site for a person who has never even taken a keyboard apart? Let alone fixed or built one? I would like it to fit my theme of Red and Black. Yet maybe have the option of changing things up a bit. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all kindly, Durazell

They should have to pay the final price with Massdrop / PMK possibly covering shipping costs.
@alligatortower did indicate a couple pages back that he has no issue paying the original price of the standard bottom row; I can only hope the rest are as honest as him.
Either way, I've always thought that getting upset about "fair" when someone else gets something you don't to be a little petty. Assuming everyone is acting in good faith and not like feigning ignorance to try and get free stuff, what does it matter if they get the keycaps for "free?" They have to spend a few months (assuming) without a complete set. I don't know, I just don't see how it effects anyone but them and Mass Drop. Not trying to call you out or anything, I just don't get it.
On first reading I, too, missed the part where the bottom row had to be purchased separately. I immediately felt something was off, so I read through the whole thing two more times and got a clearer idea of how the drop was structured.
Although Massdrop could have worded things more clearly, I personally think the product description sufficiently gets the point across. It should be nobody else's fault but your own if you did not realize you needed an extra kit (and its additional cost). After all, it is the buyer's responsibility to go through all the fine details before entering into a deal.
I don't mind if Massdrop sends out bottom rows for free, as long as the other customers who had to pay for it (such as myself) are also given something in good faith. It could be in the form of store credit, some extra novelties or whatever. It's the intention that counts for me, not the dollar value. You might think that getting upset about "fair" when someone else gets something you don't is being petty. Well good on you, not everybody can be the bigger man.
I bought two standard bottom row kits and both of them came with 6u hacker spacebars. Personally, I'm more irritated by this than by other people getting free bottom rows.
you should start a business. you'll be an instant hit with your "the customer shouldn't be so dense" policy
