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.

The bonus for me personally is that since I have the paper trail of being promised a replacement directly from support, it'll make keeping the board for free and doing a chargeback a lot easier from my end if they ended up being wrong about having enough to replace it.
