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....

Massdrop's 4/29 T-12 hour spreadsheet - https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/pulse-sa-keycap-set/FP/FzsyAoaOQaezcbcW2IBz_community%20(2).jpg?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=crop&w=955&dpr=1
The Hero I don't deserve.
What is the difference between total kits and purchased?
Also what is the difference between the sum of kits sold in the drop and update and Massdrops official 8,234 Sold number. I added up the number sold for each kit in the drop update and only came up with 6,537 kits sold.
Massdrop's Purchased number used to be just the purchases for the current live drop. But on 4/13 they changed to including all past drop Purchases as well. This is Round 3 of SA Pulse. I estimated that R1 + R2 Purchases were 3080 before R3 went live, so I have been subtracting that from Massdrop's Purchased number starting 4/13.
Like you, I also calculate that 6537 is the kit total from Massdrop's latest spreadsheet, which is what is in the top left graph on the first page of History.
I had been using the number of kits sold in 4/26 sheet to try and predict which kits would drop based on Massdrop's purchased number. I thought that Massdrop's purchased number was the number of kits sold this drop and the 4/29 spreadsheet would add up to something close to, but less than, the purchased number. Needless to say, my predictions were a bit off.
