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.

The texture is excellent. The color is exactly as advertised. The profiles are as consistent as anything else. A few of the larger modifier keys had loosish stabilizer stems, but not enough to affect the function. None of the cap mounts are loose, so it could be my stabilizer mounts that are the issue. The shine through legends are far better than I expected. They aren't the thickest caps, but they feel great to type on. Huge difference in sound from my stock abs set. For $16, I consider them an excellent buy.
