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....

And thank you matt3o for making it.. I was already convinced so the video helps a little to get the idea of how the keys will be when finished.. but does not make the wait easier :P I know I will not be the only one to ask about the keyboard you use to try the keycaps, can you tell us about the switches you used (they look black but sound Clicky)
The top surface of the MT3 looks so much bigger than the SA caps which is the only thing I can nitpick about SA profile when typing fast you cannot help but hit the edges sometimes disorientating, and, slowing your pace down..
This MT3 sneak peek almost beats porn man, the way they cradle the finger tips....
beige - RAL 9002 but I hear you saying that you want it to be a bit lighter red - RAL 2001 triumph - RAL 6027
also, is the blue /dev/tty key in the base kit meant to be a different colour to the triumph keys?
I'm very impressed so far. I ask these questions because I'm trying to decide whether I want beige mods and/or triumph mods.
"Your fingers will make love with these key-caps" Basically says it all here.
My fingers are now already anxious to start making Love with these Caps as well, so MassDrop time to deliver these babies to us as soon as possible ; )
Really wanted Triumph but afraid it really turns out like GMK Triumph's greenish bluish rendition stopped me. I really liked the blue in the mock-ups but if it's greenish after fine tuning the palette, uhuh.
/dev/tty0 blue is not triumph blue!
