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 personally love the keyboard for many of the reasons you said you don't. I'm sorry that you aren't impressed with the board! What sort of features were you looking for? I, or /r/mechanicalkeyboards on reddit can surely point you in the right direction.
I can elaborate on anything you may need, good sir.
Unfortunately, so it says on the box, the keyboard is made in China--though one can't be too sure what this means nowadays (actually made in china? assembled in China?) Country or origin is a valid critique since I believe Max Keyboard products used to be made strictly in USA, Ohio.
Despite this, the Nighthawk is an excellent product that has yet to fail me. Everyday I find myself looking for excuses to use my keyboard just to relish in its superior typing experience.
