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.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4bc2SQk0h2TrE0K07t2WI5by66ArtDAb This one is cheating a little bit since it isn’t strictly about mechanical keyboards, but it’s an audiophile guide by one of our Drop.com community members, @Evshrug. There’s quite a lot of crossover between mechanical keyboard and audiophile users so including Ev’s guide still makes sense. If you’re looking to understand more about audiophile products and support a fellow community member, check out the content Ev is making. PS where are the Drop product reviews!? Taekeyboards
Taekeyboards is a well known creator and he just released a review video on the very hype Cyberboard. Many people in the community have been following this board for a while and while the unit shown in this video is a prototype, seeing the keyboard guts is definitely interesting! It’s always nice to see new twists on keyboard design and I hope this inspires new designers to experiment even further. Sara Dietschy
Remember when you put together your first mechanical keyboard? Relive the nostalgia of messing everything up with Sara’s recording of her first mechanical keyboard build. She’s a popular Youtuber and shows off her first mechanical keyboard build and all the confusion that comes with it. Tiny and TaehaTypes make guest appearances in the latter half of the video to impart their expertise to Sara. Like what you see here?
