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.

Seriously though, instead of this marketing nonsense you might want to mention if it's programmable or not, from the 'pn' key on the pictures i'm guessing it is, but it's not mentioned in the description.
"So you can game in it quite good" ahhh ok, but can you input data ?
Anyway, just check out the Pok3r manual/reviews/info, it's the same as the Vibe but without the numpad and the PBT SA keycaps.
So what I'm getting at is that I feel the description is somewhat lacking, expecting people to download and read the manual to understand all the features is not a good marketing scheme.
Like how can they leave out the programmable part, how many layers, and if it's programmable and as you said the '00' is included in the numpad for potentially programming arrow keys in its place then how the hell do you actually do that if there are no arrow keys on the keyboard. Also what about the dip-switches ? Are they still there ?
So many things that can certainly be answered with a bit of research but should really be part of the description as major selling points (and maybe throw in a mention of the aluminium casing as that's quite a big deal for this price).
All this lack of info on major selling features while making the bold statement that a keyboard is "great for inputting data" (sorry just can't get enough of that one), I feel like someone from MD should spend a little more time on the description of this product.
ALSO, as a Pok3r user the arrow keys arent a deal at all for me, i just use HJKL for nav and i wouldnt understand why on earth someone would use the arrow keys for gaming?
