+# A Basic QWERTY Layout
+
+The Contra layer was something that I didn't see widely utilized as a US standard so I tweaked the basic layout layout by Jack Humbert. It's closer to the standard layout you would get on a US keyboard. I also moved the rest of the special characters to the lower layer.
+
+This is almost the same as my MechWild Marcuio keyboard.
+
+# A Basic Contra Layout
+
+The *default* layout currently (as of Mar 19, 2018) has a lot of components from Planck's default layout and is not very suitable for a basic Contra board. This basic layout is developed from Planck's default layout but has removed the parts that's irrelevant to a Contra board.
+
+My other keyboard is a HHKB and I don't use `Tab` or `Esc` key that much and hence the unusual placements for those keys.
