What is SpaceFN and why you should give it a try
The SpaceFN concept - setting up your space key as a layer switch when held - is probably one of the most useful tweaks in the keyboard hobby. Let me explain how it works. My SpaceFN article on kbd.news made some rounds recently - quite surprisingly given the age of this concept. This piece you're reading is a condensed version of the full post. If you're left with unanswered questions, you'll most likely find the info you're looking for in the original write-up. On my imaginary top list of the most useful keyboard features, tweaks and hacks, SpaceFN would deserve a podium finish for sure. But what makes it so special? In short: SpaceFN is easy to implement, easy to learn, costs nothing, can be used with any keyboard, and can improve your productivity instantly. I will list its benefits below, but can state right at this point that the SpaceFN concept, setting up your space key as a layer switch when held, is clearly one of the most useful tweaks in the keyboard hobby....

Overall for the price range that this board is in, you are getting a decent package for not too much. If you are planning on using it for travel or moving it around alot, I would suggest getting a 60% carrying case (yes this will fit in one) so that the keycaps dont go flying everywhere due to the lack of a "casing lip."
Long story short: this is a complete piece of junk.

Choc Mini 84 is available with POM black caps vs. PBT white caps. POM is supposedly even HARDIER than PBT, but can only make dark colors from what I understand. Do NOT pick up the Choc Mini 75. That uses a very weird "not-quite-Lightning" cable. Looks like Lightning, but regular Lightning cable won't work.
