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....

You mentioned the rose gold will be exclusive for this round, would be lovely if the first batch had a laser engraving at the bottom as the first batch of whitefox had.
I'm not actually sure on what the go is for laser engraving, maybe someone from Massdrop can chime in regarding that.
But yeah, Rose Gold is definitely exclusive to this first batch :D
So I guess what I'm really trying to ask is if there will be other drops of this product in the future that might have even more options in terms of switches and colors? If the answer is yes, I'm more than fine with waiting. Also with Christmas around the corner my wallet would really thank me for not buying this right now :D
I'm really looking forward to your aluminium SA keycaps as well! Should I keep an eye on your website or will they be on Massdrop too?
As with switches, that is something that's up to massdrop, not sure how easy MX Blacks are to acquire :o But maybe that will change over time, not sure on that one either D: And hah! Yeah, hard time of the year when you've got so many other things to buy :P
With the keycaps, those will be through my website - I always post on my Instagram and Facebook (@ramaworks) when things are released either through my website or a vendor :) So best place is to check out those social platforms to keep updated! :D I will be launching the SA caps closer to the shipping date of the M10 :)
Hope that answered your questions and cheers for the kind words and support!!
RAMA
I noticed you have a mailing list too, I signed up for that since I don't really use FB and I'm not on Instagram. I assume it'll keep me up to date too.
Well I guess I'll take my chances and start waiting for the next M10 drop in the hopes that there will actually be one :D I'm gonna beat myself up about this for a long time though if it doesn't end up happening. But I can only really justify buying one and I don't want to end up in a situation where I already own the rose gold version and then the green or the brown one drops and I'm like nnnnoooo why didn't I just wait.
