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'm looking forward to taking pictures of all these configurations! (And typing on them too, of course.)
@Huttlez Ooh, that'll be nice. Did you participate in Laser or no?
@JJ88 Hey! The Purple Espectro prototype pulled me into the GB. Wasn't going to get it originally but that was such a lovely case. I'll be placing GMK Laser on that. Which color did you go with?
I plan to pledge for the minivan and all 12 sets. I've wanted a minivan for a while now so this deal is almost too good to pass up and, while I only planned for 3 sets originally, I've seen a lot of nice combinations with mixing sets so I will go for them all.
My friends/coworkers aren't interested in this hobby, unfortunately. I'll be getting the 12 sets myself, because it's a hell of a deal and because I want to help this Kickstarter succeed, but only plan to keep a handful. I'll sell off the rest on mechmarket.
