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?

fyi, here's a real picture of SP PBT DCS:
it's pretty damn thin and definitely not worth this outrageous price. you can get thicker better quality pbt caps from vortex and gateron for less than half the price of this set.
what a surprise, i have just had my daylie keychatter dose. Somehow a bad coincidence, your news about Carbon Black by Originative.
People that are not settled about pbt or dcs is what they absolutely want or need, vote with their wallet, and i can really understand that they prefer paying $30 plus shipping instead of $150 plus shipping, even though it's only look a like at first sight and not the same. And we're not talking about colors or special childdeals here, just fullsize with standard keycapsizes.
The market is getting harder and harder, therefore the quality has to speak for itself to justify higher prices, money is tight for many people.
