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....

My LED lighting is all screwed up, but the keyboard is otherwise fine. I don't want to be out $200 AND a keyboard for however long it takes to get the replacement. That's why I was curious how they handle this whole thing.
Ended up paying around $250 (Yay Customs and Tax) for it to arrive with a visible scratch on the front, and barley working (Now completely broken) edge lighting. Seeing all the other issues people are having, and the lackluster response times - I am very disappointed, and nervous that I'm going to be left shafted. $200 for this experience...
At this rate, maybe I'll get a replacement next year, if at all. My original board had Cherry browns, but since they don't have those in inventory I was willing to accept a replacement with Halo Clears, which means I lose an additional $25. And yet they still don't send the replacement.
On every communication, they keep repeating the line about a full refund. At this point, the only way I'll accept a full refund is if I keep both the defective board and the money.
