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.

That's only in the the Planck keycap set drop though, so those were my only options. I love the set so much though that I had to order all of them lol. Since these were part of a larger keycap set drop for the Planck with other options other than MiTo's Canvas set, there was no option to order the original modifiers like I would've liked.. So I'm limited to just having this on 1 of my Planck's for now *sigh*. If anyone bought extra and is willing to sell a set or 2 once they arrive let me know! I'll be on the lookout to pick some up! I'm sure there will be some on /r/mechmarket but just throwing it out there.
Anyways, I just want to say that I love the retro look, I'm not a huge fan of unicorn and rainbow sets, which makes this set perfect for me! This set looks gorgeous at the same time being sleek, sexy and very professional! The pop of colour from the Bauhaus Mods makes it even better, it just gives it that little bit of oomph pow! It's a beautiful set even with the regular Basic Mods, but those Bauhaus especially the icon ones... wow. I just can't get over how beautiful this keycap set is! This keycap set gets an 11/10 for me! I like it better than my Granite, Otaku - Katakana, SA Icecap, etc etc.. This keycap set is just the best out of all of them and will probably get the most board-time once I get my hands on it. ♥
