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....

Polymer clay

Sorry, I'll have to pass. Someone is ripping us off here.
So... Who's ripping you off here? And this is way too expensive compared to what? If you have any argument to be made I look forward to reading it.
Made in China doesn't have the same reputation like made in the USA (SP) or made in Germany (GMK). New profile, new producer, reputation not known or well enough explained. So far no given drop points which is uncommon for a gb this scale. Betas had been made in a "hurry", because people were not happy before.
I'm not judging, just trying to understand!
Regarding China, there are so many good Asian businesses/individuals out there when it comes to keys/keyboards nowadays that I feel almost as confident purchasing something made by Master Control than I do SP (whose DCS caps are terribly thin for example, whose SA caps start to shine fairly rapidly, etc). Same goes for other people like Kin25 who makes all the TX keyboards which are of ridiculously high quality, Oddforge, Varmilo, the creator/manufacturer of the ZZ96 and other ZZ boards whose name escapes me right now, etc.
I agree that there isn't much known regarding the profile yet as it is brand new and I agree that it may lead people to feel flaky, totally understandable. Same with how quickly Betas kit had to be whipped up, I haven't looked into that at all because I'm not interested in the centre legends but you're right regardless.
Drop points would be awesome but in my opinion the prices are already decent, I'm personally in for Alphas, Icon Mods, Dieter Rams, Bauhaus Icon mods, Mono Kit, Spacebars and Small Spacebars and that's setting me back around $160 with shipping. Comparing that to the $170 I spent on Alphas, 40s and Novelties/labs ONLY (didn't even buy modifiers because mixing and matching Novelties and 40s I have enough keys to cover all my boards) when Godspeed came around a few months ago I'd say the prices here are reasonable. Who would say no to drop points, though?
edit: fixed a number that I misplaced.
Just for the record, i'm in with 11 kits since hours, seems to be i've no problem at all.
Welcome to a new age where the majority of products are now all made in China and their keyboards and key-caps far out number any other countries production. The quality of Chinese manufacturing has been elevated from the old years to match Taiwanese construction. I have no qualms about buying Chinese products now because on average they will last as long as any other product coming from either Germany or US.
