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....

I have a WASD v2 keyboard that I gleefully put my caps onto as soon as they arrived. I ordered several sets of alphas. The black and teal spacebars seem to stay on decently, but the purple space bar won't stay fully on if I push even lightly on one end or the other.
The issue seems to be that the keycap stabilizer inserts ( http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/review/product/list/id/34/category/7/ ) don't fit snuggly enough, so pushing on one side of the spacebar pulls the stabilizer free from the other end of the cap.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a good solution? Can you purchase stabilizer inserts that are just *slightly* larger so they fit better?
Thanks for any insight you might have!
I hope you're enjoying your caps. My only issue: more awesome caps than keyboards. Guess I'll just have to buy more keebs so I have place to put my key cap sets...
