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.

We apologize for this issue, and the delay while we wait to get you corrected keycaps. Our community support team will be reaching out to those affected with more information. We are on track to meet our estimated ship date of February 28.
I ordered a Preonic with Canvas - Can you confirm that my order will be shipped now (albeit with a set of Canvas with incorrect legends)?

I'm trying to join the Tokyo60 drop and wanted to know if I could add 2 sets of switches to the order. I wanted to add 2 sets of Halo Clear switches (for a total of 120 switches) to my order, but Massdrop will only allow me to add 1 set of switches to my order. Please help if you can. Thank you!

If Massdrop hasn't notified you yet, try getting in touch with their customer support.
