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.

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.

MT3 Black on White and MT3 White on Black have launched with rave reviews. As mentioned in the past, the quest to build amazing MT3 keycap tooling was a 2 year journey and we're so happy to have gotten it to the finish line with the Susuwatari keycap set. We’re excited to have just released MT3 Jukebox and MT3 Camillo in stock, with MT3 Dasher on the way! We're planning for many more beautiful doubleshot colorways to be released in 2021. If PBT dye-sub is your preference, check out MT3 Extended 2048 designed by biip. CTRL and ALT PCBs As a follow up to the release of our CTRL and ALT custom anodized case colors, we’ve just released standalone PCBs for both platforms. You can now build your own “barebones” setup by ordering a colored case, diffuser, PCB, and stabilizers. Signature Series Keyboards In the past two months we released three Signature Series keyboards (read more about their inception here), and we just added a fourth keyboard named Flux to the collection. Initial feedback around this collection has been overwhelmingly positive and we're taking steps to follow this up with more prebuilt semi-custom keyboards to be released in 2021. In closing… 2020 has been an amazing year for Mechanical Keyboards at Drop.com and we’re thankful to the community for all the support that you’ve shown us. We’ve already got a very busy release schedule for 2021 and are excited to reveal our plans in the very near future!
