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....

- SENSE75 keyboards have been shipping for a couple of weeks now - it's likely that you'll have received your assembled unit by now
- Keyboard cases for early buyers of the assembled SENSE75 started shipping last week, separately from the keyboard; if you receive an empty keyboard case, it's this one
- Keyboard cases for early buyers of the barebones SENSE75 might ship out a little before the barebones keyboards themselves ship (warehouse can't stop won't stop); don't be alarmed if this arrives unexpectedly
- Novelty keys for early buyers are slightly delayed due to a delay with the packaging of the keycaps themselves; we currently estimate that these will begin shipping in mid-December
- MT3 freebie codes for early buyers will be sent to your email at the end of December
- Keyboard Configurator support for SENSE75 is still in development; for the time being, configuring with VIA is the most feature-full and user-friendly option - see the SENSE75 Setup Guide for more detailed instructions
Let me know if there are any questions not addressed here and I'll do my best to update accordingly.
