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....

I made test for Kailh bronze switch but It took miniutes with gloves and Keycap puller and...
* Pay attention for safety, especially with bare hands. It's hard as Aluminium.
(Stands 10 seconds at 260 degree celcious maintaing 40% of flexural strength. Linear expansion curves shows similar to Aluminium. Even direct exposure under sunlight 1 year, 90% of mechanical strength remains... Thanks anyway google)
Back to comparison with GMK keycap.
And... Here's what's in package.
Tough like sandpaper and My nail could not made scratch :)
Yes, I made test at Spacebar.
