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....

Looks/Feels great like a quality piece I loved the custom printed sleeve the key came in a nice touch! - USB cable nice and thick - First Topre key switch board for me and it feels wonderful! (now I'm anticipating my RC930 RGB keyboard even more as it has Topre clone switches) - From what I can tell so far all keys work and are registered in Windows 10, having 00 + extra keys is really nice I am a Tenkeyless user so this is a nice addition to my desk! - Deal with it Jack is my first step into artisan keycaps and i LOVE it lol it's pretty unique and now I am off to start my collection! (just joined that Darth Vader cap drop)
If we can get some more Topre caps from Bingecap or other artisans that would be cool so I could have more for my Realforce Numpad the RC930 is cherry compatible Topre stems.
