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 work in an office so I cannot have clicky ... but I like Strong Tactile bump ... not too stiff.
Only Gat Blue, Gat Green and Cherry Blue are clicky, the rest are not.
67g Zealios would most likely be the best middle ground. I heard they rate there switches at bottom out for there weights.
keep in mind Tactile switches are still a bit noisy but nothing like clicky switches. Linear's are completely silent unless you bottom out then there is the thud from the cap hitting the plate.
Comparing to MX Brown, where I have noticed that the switches are quiet lite and sometimes my finger is on the switch and continuous keys register. I am in Canada and I am currently looking for a Vortex Race 3 with Cherry MX Clears :) Thanks for the response. Appreciate your input.

worth taking a look. I know the Race 3 where in-stock on another website that sells keyboards! they sold out with in 2 days. There very popular.
I will wait for another drop!
