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....

Am waiting for lots of stuff in the mail to arrive for the custom: A 75% custom kit in full aluminium. GMK Carbon DSA Overcast A bag of cherry Green/Blue/White/Tactile Greys.
Can't wait to start building my very own keyboard...
Honestly, the main reason as to why I kept coming to these keyboards were because of the brushed aluminium they had that gave them that timeless look and yet other fully assembled keyboards I preferred recently just looks out of place with my setups.
Sometimes the look is more appealing than the brains input, dat bottomrow etc. Life would be boring always being ruled by intellect, sometimes we just have to do what our feelings demand.
