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.

We have received no confirmation or information on what the game plan is for those who received the wrong parts other than "we might do another run of boards, we'll see" from YanboWu a few weeks back.
So far the lackluster information being posted here (no official e-mails concerning this drop in months either!!) is the best we have. In light of my experience, it's kind of laughable that your recommendation is to talk to support.
Got my left hand PCB package today and to my great surprise it contained another right hand PCB. This is completely unacceptable at this point. MD took an entire month to open up packages and verify the inventory and still couldn't even get the right parts put into the correct package.
Completely ridiculous. We deserve some sort of goodwill compensation at this point for having to put up with this level of incompetence.
Hi Everyone - Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We understand how frustrating this whole process has been and we are working on a solution.
The remaining PCBs are being overnighted from our warehouse to our office in San Francisco. Once the parts arrive Yanbo and the team will sort them by hand. When we have a better understanding of the inventory, we will be able to send you the correct parts.
If you have not already reached out to community support, please do so via the transactions page (https://www.massdrop.com/transactions) and someone on the team will help you out.
We want to apologize again for this, and I can assure you the team is working on making this right. Also, we will be issuing a partial refund to your original payment method. For those of you that have already reached out to support, you will receive an email with more information.
Hey, maybe in another month, we can add a fourth to the collection...

Just joking.
