Does the Beige PBT XDA blank cap option support grid layout? Not that it will make or break me ordering but I want to try and support a new-to-me layout.

10HzXDA keycaps are uniform profile (like DSA), if that helps.

dvorcolWhat I am referring to as a grid layout is a board entirely of 1u keys. If they only provide the bottom row 2u and not 2x1u then that may change my keycap choice.

10HzThe Planck supports several different bottom row setups, one of which is all 1u. So I'd hope their Beige PBT XDA blank keycap set supports all 1u, too. @YanboWu @jackhumbert can you confirm?

10HzI don't think you are asking your question clearly. However, I shall attempt to answer based on what I perceived.
The bottom row can have all 1u keys. Only the middle 4 keys will have switches fixable upside down. I don't know how much you would be able to understand from that, but if you look at the PCB, check out the hot swap layout of the bottom row. - https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5701bc562eeb810fd9247c88/5701c35bf699bbaade59f4b1/5ae943ce758d46165512df05/1538714509753/planck-rev6-hot-swap-top.jpg?format=2500w

shadyincSorry for my confusing post. @shadyinc yep, I know the layout is supported. I am asking if the XDA keycaps come with 46 1Us or 48 1Us in addition to the 2U that is shown in the picture.

shadyincI think the question is whether the xda caps come with two additional 1u keys on top of what are shown in the picture.

10HzAll keycap sets offered will support both the 2x 2U space bar and grid layouts. They will include additional 1x 2U and 2x 1U keys that are not shown in the photos.
