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....

The other day the keyboard kept disconnecting and reconnecting. now it connects and instantly disconnects, I hear the windows sound for plugging and unplugging, no lights come up at all.
I disconnected the keyboard from the USB port at the back of my motherboard and tried a different port, still doesn't work.
The keyboard works fine on another computer as far as I know, I haven't really used it extensively on that computer.
I've tried reinstalling USB drivers and keyboard drivers nothing works.
I have completely wiped my computer, reinstalled windows, still doesn't work.
Pressed the reset button on the back of the keyboard, it didn't do anything.
I changed the LEDs for the keyboard on my other computer using the Keyboard Configurator using the mdloader stuff; thought all the lights use too much power. Still doesn't work.
Thanks :)
