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....

We can obviously say that IC dropped the ball screwed up and its on there heads. It makes since why in the world would a company agree to spend 10's of thousands of dollars for a concept! cause thats what it was a concept.. if they couldn't control it? IC had no ability to produce these switches on there own.. so there only choices where to go find a company willing to back them financially which they did. What I know of business there not a single one in the universe that would have said. We will produce your concept and give you full rights to it. No once a company buy's in there most the time going to own the rights to the product! Every watched shark tank? Thats basically what this was. IC pitched a idea... Massdrop said sure but we want controlling stake in it. IC agreed cause otherwise there concept was just that a concept on a piece of paper.
Massdrop did what any company would do to think otherwise is silly! This has just gone out of control and just shows how bad social media is for society.
