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....

All was fine and dandy until I put the keys back on, I noticed that some keycaps were taller than others (4, 6, F3 and F7 are most noticeable in the pic) I gave all the keys a bit more of a push down and that seems to have helped a bit, but it's still noticeable.
Something I found really weird is that when I switched the keycaps around to see if it was the switches or the caps themselves that were causing the problem they seemed to level just fine.
Does anybody else have this issue? Would a new set of keycaps fix it or is it the switches themselves? Why wasn't this an issue until I took the caps out and put them back in?
