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.

OH and if you are confused as to what the F10 and F11 keys are for, it is to change the latency of the keys so that if you get any ageing (lets face it I'm sure a lot of us change keyboards once every 2 years if not more! So this might never be a good feature) So if you are typing on your keyboard and suddenly discover that the keyboard is missing individual key presses, you have likely increased the latency. Spam FN + F10 and it should solve the problem.
Don't know if anyone would also happen to know if you can put a pair of eneloops in this for example and then charge them by having the keyboard plugged in?

As for charging the batteries in the keyboard by plugging it in, although I haven't tried it, I am going to have to say it is something that would be too good to be true. I don't think it is possible.
