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....

Hi,
As per your policy, you are offering refunds for products that are "not-as-advertised"
Rama has marketed the programmable keyboard as "Fully open source": https://rama.works/#/m10-a/
This is not true.
They only use GitHub to publish the binary blobs (derivative of the source code), which prohibits users from contributing and discussing issues.
I am not requesting a refund yet, but I urge you to ask Rama to publish the actual source code on their github page: https://github.com/MachineIndustries/configurator
If this is not done within a few days, I'll be requesting a full refund under "not as advertised" option.
Thank you.
While we never originally promised in our advertising that the configurator and compiler would be open source, we figured we'd throw down the gauntlet and make it open when we're happy with it. The codebase is untidy right now and we're not happy with opening it up at the moment, we'll open-source it at our discretion when we have the time - we'll likely put it out there quite soon though :)
