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....

If some tosser thinks ONE key is forcing him away from this then just walk away, you couldn't appreciate the greatness of this set if you are crying over a Windows 8 monstrosity logo (which most younger kiddies are wanting these days).
Microsoft Logo's isn't what attracts me personally to any key-set, it's the quality and finish of the keys which GMK delivers in spades.
It could be "Cmd", or they can just send 2x 1.25 additional blanks
It seems windows users are doing everything they can to avoid pressing the windows button, so I don't think they will mind, but if you're using unix based operating systems, the windows logo is just disturbing
I just checked a previous GH GMK group buy, it included blank 1.25's
You're right that you can't satisfy everyone intelli78, but simple additions like these can help satisfy more people
For future group buys/drops, a satisfaction pack might sense, with all the absurd 40% 60% ergodox fc660m infinity keycaps in one package, costing another $114, I'm sure many will buy
Most of my keycap spending is aimed at finding replacements for the keycaps that stand out
Seriously though, I wouldn't let the windows key dissuade you from picking this set up. It is beautiful in its simplicity, and something like it isn't likely to come around again. And GMK at this price is amazing.
this is the creme dela creme of keycaps. even among gmk's, it's on a league of its own. elrick may have been abit harsh with his comment but refusing to get this keyset because of a couple of keys and suggesting satisfaction packs is like arguing about the number of cupholders on a freaking veyron.
