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....

this keyboard is worth EVERY penny.
very solid keyboard, glossy finish looks classy as well.
in terms of fit and finish and overall feel it puts all of logitech, razer, cooler master mechanical keyboards to shame. none of them should be worth more than $50 when compared to this keyboard.
this keyboard is the reason why i keep mentioning the logitech g710 as being worth less than $50. i do own a g710 btw, collecting dust.
if you are goign to spend more than $50 on a mechanical keyboard, then you should look into das or ducky. avoid logitech and razer, you are paying for the brand name.
i was mentioning the MECHANICAL keyboards from the major peripheral manufacturers as of late. they all seem so over-priced for what they are. i cannot fathom how they price mainstream mechanical keyboards at over $100 (logitech, razer, etc).
