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....

That's only in the the Planck keycap set drop though, so those were my only options. I love the set so much though that I had to order all of them lol. Since these were part of a larger keycap set drop for the Planck with other options other than MiTo's Canvas set, there was no option to order the original modifiers like I would've liked.. So I'm limited to just having this on 1 of my Planck's for now *sigh*. If anyone bought extra and is willing to sell a set or 2 once they arrive let me know! I'll be on the lookout to pick some up! I'm sure there will be some on /r/mechmarket but just throwing it out there.
Anyways, I just want to say that I love the retro look, I'm not a huge fan of unicorn and rainbow sets, which makes this set perfect for me! This set looks gorgeous at the same time being sleek, sexy and very professional! The pop of colour from the Bauhaus Mods makes it even better, it just gives it that little bit of oomph pow! It's a beautiful set even with the regular Basic Mods, but those Bauhaus especially the icon ones... wow. I just can't get over how beautiful this keycap set is! This keycap set gets an 11/10 for me! I like it better than my Granite, Otaku - Katakana, SA Icecap, etc etc.. This keycap set is just the best out of all of them and will probably get the most board-time once I get my hands on it. ♥
