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....

However, the Halo clears still felt amazing as well and I plan to keep these on standby in case I ever decide to get another keyboard again. Full marks. First Massdrop drop and first lover of it even after hearing of all the problems. Using it for games like League of Legends feels amazing as well.
Keep in mind that the keycaps won't be for everyone because they do have some sort of rough texture to them when you rub your hands against them, but I personally really do like the feel in comparison to some really cheap ABS keycaps I've used on keyboards that cost just as much (I'm looking at you Razer).
And while the color isn't the same as what was advertised, I'm perfectly fine with what I got color wise. It looks pretty as is. What I really cared more about was the quality, which I can say is pretty good for pricing in comparison to other DIY keyboard kits.
