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....

It looks like I may have received an extra 1.5 unit key rather than a 1.75 unit, so it's possible that you and others may get two options for your capitalization locking needs. Did earlier drops contain both stepped and standard caps locks?
As it stands now, I have no options. Hopefully Massdrop support will help me sort things out.
Other than that, this set seems nice and I wouldn't mind picking up a 2nd set when it drops again.
Edit: Forgot Vortex is a Chinese company...I finally found their website but I can't figure out what their CS email is.
go check through your caps to be sure
EDIT: Support actually emailed me back earlier this evening and I just missed it.
