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.

The new 75% & Leopold options; are they the same size? If not, which is larger and how to their sizes compare to the TKL option?
Currently own a TKL - Want to get another soft case but it would be nice to know even roughly how much larger or smaller the options are.
Should have an answer for you before the drop ends.
In my experience MassDrop has always gone the extra mile to provide its members great quality service - and your reply reinforces that!
To be honest I expected either the vendor or someone connected to them would be monitoring the drop - so I thought I was asking simple questions. Especially since it's unclear if newly added Leopold and 75% options are actually the same size product as the 60% or TKL. I really just want to know where each "size" stands compared to one another.
As stated previously; I already 1 of the TKL Soft cases from a prior drop and like the quality! So I just want to make an informed decision on my next order before the drop ends! :)
In any case I definitely will be ordering another "keyboard Soft Case" from this drop, I just wanted a clearer picture of how the sizes compared before I made my final choice. Thanks again for stepping in and helping make sure we get some information before the end of the drop!
So we have been trying to get in touch with the vendor but haven't heard anything back yet - because well... weekend.
I suggest just joining the drop right now. We can always easily cancel the order if you are not happy with the answer after we get it.
Meanwhile I will keep an eye out for the answer and update you as soon as I have it.
