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....

MD usually is only the middle man and i see it as some kind of shopping mall. You buy your Gateron switches and keycaps and keyboards from different companys/people and it can't be the problem of company C that you have bought switches before from company A.
The exception of the rule is for example any Infinity project, where MD isn't only the middle man and there you usually get the options you're asking for.
Of course i would like to get a Corsair K65 RGB, i love the look, without red switches, because i don't like them and solder different switches, but this wont happen, which i understand, but i don't understand they're not offering a wider variety of switches.
But MD might be able to ask for another drop for the case alone, if other pcbs might fit, in the future.
