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.

- Added extra hardware functionality to the audio speaker. This means that you can now play two sounds simultaneously with only the speaker that's built in!
- Added a fuse to remove any chance of burning your computer usb port.
- Added proper trace to the reset line of the MCU.
- Added a hardware identification circuit that can tell the software if you are using a new or old PCB. Anyone that ordered the Knops Mini will receive the new PCB.
This PCB is basically version 1.1 of the Knops Mini. It can do everything that was advertised during the drop + a few new things that you can ignore if you don't want to use them.https://www.massdrop.com/buy/cooler-master-knops-mini-macro-keyboard
Below you will see a few potato-pictures of the new PCBs. Maybe I will make better pictures when I have them in my hands myself.
The expected delivery time was the end of March 2018, but it looks like I may be early by 1 or 2 months. All components of the Knops Mini are expected to be delivered around 24th of december for QA inspection.
