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....

It is impossible to predict the exact grid or pattern a particular customer will receive with their kits. Some people may receive a very busy grid, others may not even see a grid at all. All kits wil be unique. We wanted the imperfections to be seen.
Therefore rendering it may not be entirely accurate. Every customer will receive their kits with a different grid underneath.
I’m sorry if you are disappointed, but I believe you set sky high expectations (nothing wrong with that, by the way) because you didnt fully understood what the product was supposed to be in the first place (and that can be a problem).
Me personally (speaking as enthusiast, not the creator) very much enjoy the grid you’ve got, the W looks molten and the others seem like melting. It reminds me of Terminator movies! Combined with a neutral keyset (for example something white) or maybe even Laser GMK itself, I think it‘s gonna look very very nice and cyberpunk. In my honest opinion the gamerish typeface keyset you have going on isn’t helping, the composition looks off. Doesn’t do justice in highlighting the kit which is an addon to Laser GMK. Of course the customers are free to use and display products as they want to. I’m just sharing my personal opinion as a hobbyist now.

Quoting myself:
“Our goal was to develop a product that would resemble manufacturing standpoints from a cyberpunk future.“
This was the first time anyone offered a product like this! Thanks a lot for the support and I hope you have high expectations for Laser GMK, that one is looking pristine!
