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....

There is a compatibilly list for k-boards: http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-universal-cherry-mx-translucent-clear-black-full-keycap-set-front-side-print.html
Keycaps layouts and size: http://www.maxkeyboard.com/mechanical-keycap-layout-and-size-chart.html
Mine Ducky Shine 2/3/4 k-boards don't use the same keycaps size like lets say Corsair K70 Vengeance on R1(ctrl,win, alt + spacebar keycaps).
My "win keycap" (+ alt, ctrl keycaps) is 1x1.25 in size on the Ducky Shine k-boards and on the Corsair K70 V the "win keycap" is 1x1 size.
Even the "Spacebar" is not the same size, Ducky Shine 2/3/4 uses 1x6.25 Spacebars, Corsair K70 V uses 1x6.5 Spacebars.
Here in Sweden we don't have the "ANSI layout" on yours k-boards, we have the "ISO/Nordic layout".
Even the "ISO/Nordic layout" and the "ISO/English layout" are not the same, we have this 3 letters "Å", "Ö" and "Ä", you don't have these 3 letters in UK/US.
You can use a ANSI keycaps set on a ISO k-board but ANSI Enter + left Shift don't fit on the ISO k-board. + you don't get/be missin the 3 letters "Å", "Ä" and "Ö" on the keycaps.
You can also use a ISO keycaps set on a ANSI k-board but ISO big Enter + left Shift don't fit on the ANSI k-board.
I have 3 ANSI k-boards so I can use ANSI keycaps sets.
The White Ducky Shine 2 k-board is a ISO/Nordic layout with keycools terrible/ugly letters on the keycaps, ANSI rainbow keycaps set + Duckys pink ISO keycaps like the big Enter , left Shift and some more.
Just saw the model is on that list you provided, so it looks like they will work. Looking at the pictures of the keys provided, it looks like it actually comes with both sizes of "special" keys.
Yes you're right, I looked in my box (I bought this keycaps set on Massdrop last year) after I had replying to you.
I have also 2 different ISO big Enter keycaps in my box. The orange keycap not included in the Max box.
