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....

That shift issue would drive me nuts though, good luck.
Edit: Actually my right shift is also the wrong profile. Damn.
This is not unethical business practice. What happened here was a manufacturing mistake and both the seller and the manufacturer are following the protocol procedures to fix it, and it's being fixed.
Replacements will be made and sent out to everyone, every recent group buy had some issues and unfortunately it happened here as well.
Right now I ask for your patience and I guarantee that everything is being fixed. And as a designer, I'm doing my best to prevent this from happening in the future projects that I contribute to create.
This is a community effort and for being awesome and supportive for so long you deserve nothing but the ultimate experience and excellent products, and this is what you'll get.
If Signature Plastics has already been contacted, and replacement keys are being made for EVERY set that was produced, why ask for customers to submit tickets, and why not proactively contact customers?
Mistakes do happen, I'm not blaming you as the designer (the design is fantastic), or Signature Plastics as the manufacturer. It seems that Massdrop has failed to handle the situation in a timely and appropriate manner.
I would be glad to submit a support ticket but I can't even do it because I am still waiting for my package to be shipped all the way through Europe to reach Asia! Jeez.
I also don't see why you wouldn't blame the manufacturer, when this is their mistake entirely.
