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?

- I have to unplug it, wait for 10-20mins, plugged it in and it works as per normal but freezes again after awhile.
Tried flashing the keyboard through the configurator and downloading the latest relevant files via (https://github.com/Massdrop/mdloader/releases) ,but unfortunately it doesn't work. (The keyboard could not be detected through the 60 seconds and hitting Alt+B or the reset button at the back of the board just shuts the keyboard down and doesn't turn itself on) The build of the keyboard is great, and i don't mind going through a replacement. But it will be an issue for me if the mentioned issue happens on the new replaced keyboard due to the waiting duration. Will be great if anyone can chime in pertaining to my situation. Thanks.
