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. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....

I don't know how long your "to this day" is, but the main reason you're having a hard time finding and why manufacturers neglect Razer and Corsair is because they have their LEDs north/top, so the front legends won't shine very well, especially if the switch housing isn't clear/transparent. I've tried it on my Corsair, doesn't shine well, even though mine has Cherry's RGB/clear housing, even more so is that Corsair's keyboards uses a floating design so the light will leak out giving it less shine. Tried it on my Razer, doesn't shine well either, even though they have larger LEDs and uses a closed design and not floating like Corsair. Front backlit legends will only work well with keyboards that have their LEDs south/bottom. The rest, I'll let you figure that out. If you think the photos in the description page shows backlighting well, then its not like that in actual environment conditions unless you're in a dim room to dark room. Not deterring you here, just merely letting you know. As you desire them so much, as said, Good Luck.
Obviously you're not paying attention. Don't know what set you have but not gonna go into the different factors with you, if yours seems fine and works in your view, thats you. Of course it'll work fine, it shines, but as I stated, not well on keyboards with LEDs mounted north.
I've already explained the very slim chance for corsair and razer compatibility. Again, good luck with your continued wait - End of.
