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....

Since I've got over 30 keyboards and I'm a super busy person, I put the defect keyboard on the shelf after noticing the quality issue - I consider it a collectable over a functional one. Recently, when I missed the feeling of "Hall Effect", I took this keyboard out of my shelf and started typing. This time, almost 1/3 of the keys are sticky. They dont come back when bottomed out. Nice. This could be the worst product I've ever owned in my entire life...thinking about having been waiting it for couple of months...
Anyway, I hope all the potential customers get the perfect (or better) units from this round.
Fact - if you like collecting keyboards anyone/everyone, will acquire keyboards that fail, part of living in the 21st Century ; )
Cherry MY is still worse. :/
