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....

- Manual spray painting on metal surfaces (the difficult part is, spray paint comes off easily on the metal surface, so it takes multiple efforts trying and touching-up).
2. Hand painting and sanding to achieve the battle-damaged look and create a "wasteland" feel (again since it's completely hand-made, it takes a lot of time to reach our desired look). 3. Apply a layer of high-quality lacquer over the base paint (since the pattern is unique and hand-crafted, doing it as precise as possible is difficult and definitely not an easy task). 4. Matte protection layer finish for preventing scratches (the hand-painted finish is very delicate, and therefore multiple layers of protection are crucial). So, the value of this special edition lies in its design, craftsmanship, and applying protective finishes on top of the manual painting and polishing. Not to mention a collab fee is usually also involved, where brands need to pay the respective co-branding artist for their work. To be frank, Angry Miao isn't really making any money on this.
