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....

Edit: The biggest issue so far is the housing isn't the tightest and is very soft. I was shocked at how easy it was to open up, the plastic is not very stiff. Once it's opened once the housing wobble is bad. Deskeys thicker films are ideal for this but they do somewhat ruin their look. Lube is very very light. A small amount on the legs and stem rails. Very small amount of lube. Smoothness wise there as good as other budget switches like Jwicks and Gateron Pros but those use a lot more lube so that is impressive. These also vary on bottom out feel. All the HPE switches bottom out too soft for me. But the POM stem units are great. Next Drop I'm going to order 2 more 110 packs of the Blue Sky Cloud Tactile. After more time has passed I love the Blue Sky Cloud Tactile so much, they the drop comes back ill grab like 4-8 packs. SO please request this drop so you can get some for your self.
