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.

Imagine them being heavy but easy to push? If that makes sense? My clears are very punchy. I need to push past a point, which is a combination of the stem friction and the spring weight.
With my Zealios it's like the friction just isn't there. It's just the spring weight. Which is a nice, yet odd feeling to get used to.
I used to love blues when I was younger but the noise started to annoy me far too much, especially once I started being more serious about my music and the clack clack clack kept creeping in through my open headphones. I really want reds to be my favourite but I can't help but prefer browns and topre for now. I'd love for standard keycap sets to be topre compatible, my FC660C doesn't get nearly as much use as I'd want it to because I'm a sucker for custom sets.
Not a sir.
