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's no limit shown anywhere so I'm assuming they can produce as many as is necessary much like the latest WhiteFox drop.
Compared to my Ducky Shine II (which has Cherry Clears) they feel a bit... It's an odd feeling... Hmm...
Imagine them being heavy but easy to push? If that makes sense? My clears are very punchy. I need to push past a point, which is a combination of the stem friction and the spring weight.
With my Zealios it's like the friction just isn't there. It's just the spring weight. Which is a nice, yet odd feeling to get used to.
I used to love blues when I was younger but the noise started to annoy me far too much, especially once I started being more serious about my music and the clack clack clack kept creeping in through my open headphones. I really want reds to be my favourite but I can't help but prefer browns and topre for now. I'd love for standard keycap sets to be topre compatible, my FC660C doesn't get nearly as much use as I'd want it to because I'm a sucker for custom sets.
Not a sir.
