Drop Alt for daily use, BM43A for fun.

I can never go back to a keyboard without something as flexible as QMK. I wrote a bit about why I love it so much: https://jkaptur.com/layout/.

This. I see reviews in YouTube from people that only care about how the keyboard sounds. Who cares how it sounds if I can't customize the layout? If can't program the keyboard to work exactly how I expect it to work? I can't believe that those reviewers talk about the hardware and the sound, but never cover the firmware customization capabilities in their reviews. I want to know if a keyboard is compatible with QMK. If the support comes from mainline QMK or a custom repository, what is the address of the web configurator and if it also supports customization VIA (only for resale value - will not use it personally).
