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....

Production of the plates is moving along much slower than anticipated due to many units not meeting their quality control standards. As a result, we’re looking at an approximately 1 week delay in the entire process.
The factory is currently estimating the units to be completed in the last week of June and first week of July with all kits promised en route to us by July 5th.
We will start fulfilling the drop as soon as units hit our warehouse, so people should start getting tracking on their order by the first week of July, if not sooner.
On a serious note, MD really needs to be more in touch and communicate with it's community. Even if you send out an email or post saying "week #16, 75% of stock is accounted for on plates", so we actually know you're trying, that'd be something. Right now, though, I have no idea and wish I could just cancel the order and get a refund. Does it take financial protest to get some sort of information or at least create some accountability? This is the second time MD or their partners has fallen on their face with the Planck. Who's actual fault is it?
