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....

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90236.0 If either of those keyboards is a copy of the other, then why would the copy be the one for which the switches were designed? For that matter, why assume that intellectual property theft is involved at all?
Very interested in getting both keyboards and trying out both styles of switches. During the Day use the Blues but at Night, use the Reds ; )
After wasting my money on these type of keyboards I ALWAYS go back to my Model-M's and F's. Just so glad I have them in my life than a whole crate full of Havit's.
I'm the wrong person to get any support for the current made keyboards because nearly always, they lack real performance and joy when using them. The OLD keyboards have soul and this new keyboard 'junk' is exactly that.
If you like these very thin style of keyboards then there is nothing wrong with them, the one I bought which is a Daeru TKL version (same version with Blue switches), is fine to use.
The only good thing about them is the aluminium plate that gives it rigidity, so there is no flexing or movement of the keyboard casing when using it. With my hands and fingers pounding away at the keyboard it didn't buckle or strain.
