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....

For me it is the Q, D and Left shift, this aggravated me to no end the first day trying to figure out what the issue was with the keyboard. Then there is the issue of keys just falling off, luckily I have only had to deal with the Delete key doing this, but I do have a set of Vortex keycaps coming in so I suppose I'll see how they fare. I also am unsure if this keyboard has NKRO, because sometimes it feels like it does and then there are times where it feels like it's got 4KRO.
Other than this, I really like the smoothness of the keys that do work properly. I really want to like this keyboard more, but those issues make it a less pleasing typing experience.
There is a known issue of the NKRO implementation being limited to 5KRO per row. You may be hitting this issue.
