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....

Vortex Pok3r keyboard with backlit functionality was supposed to ship with backlit ABS laser etched keycaps. Unfortunately, due to shortage Vortex decided to ship the keyboards with ABS doubleshot backlit keycaps instead without alerting us ahead of time.
ABS doubleshot backlit keycaps are both much higher quality and also substantially more expensive compared to the ABS laser etched keycaps. Vortex wanted to do right by the community and assumed it’d be a reasonable replacement.
We understand this change might not be acceptable by some members. If you’d rather return/cancel your order for full refund, please feel free to reach out to Massdrop Support before Mar 23, 2016 from the transactions tab for further assistance.
"We asked Vortex to make the labeled keycaps available for purchase on its own but they couldn't/wouldn't do it because of blah reason" or "MD can't/won't offer the labeled keycaps for purchase because of blah reason".
Or clarifying how cancellations will be handled. Say an order has shipped but not yet arrived, should the recipient refuse delivery? Will MD cover return shipping costs since it's your error?
I contacted support 2 days ago requesting a cancellation - no response. Tried clicking the ticket link in the email - my MD login doesn't work with your support system.
