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.

This is Ken from Zalman USA. I've read everyone's comments and have relayed them onto HQ.

I also agree that some of the marketing slogans here are pretty ridiculous, but again, HQ doesn't seem to run this by USA branch before trying to launch products here in USA.
If you have any quesitons, feel free to contact me.
Thank you

Thank you very much for your support. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I will definitely make sure to relay any comments and questions regarding our products. As we are fairly new to this market, our keyboard does have special features such as marco programming built into the keyboard, so that no software is required and this includes programming mouse clicks as well.
I hope that the community will give our keyboard an honest try so that everyone can see for themselves.
Thank you very much.

The manufacturer of this keyboard is actually Korean and the most I have been able to gather from the name is that it is "SKY...." (sorry, I can't read Korean). Regarding the keycap profile, I believe it is OEM.
Thank you
