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....

Quick explanation : Just because a product wins a poll doesn't mean that we can offer it. We use that info to approach the manufacturer/distributor and see if they're willing to work with the group (and show them the poll results). We've spoken to Kinesis and at this time they're unwilling to offer a discount to the community (versus other online outlets), regardless of the quantity that they order. So while we can offer the Kinesis on Massdrop, it will be at the same price that you see on Amazon etc- making it pointless to run as a groupbuy :( Truly Ergonomic on the otherhand, was ecstatic to see the interest in their product and was happy to accommodate the group by offering up their keyboard at a significant discount to regular prices.
