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....

This is (or, would/will be) my first mechanical keyboard, and I really love the customization possible with them. I want a WhiteFox, but I can't see myself spending over $200 for one.... /:
On another note, I really love the layout of the WhiteFox. If someone can recommend a TKL or another keyboard with a layout much like WhiteFox's (that's about as expensive as this one), that would be unvelievably helpful.
Thank you!

There is also vortex pure or something that's got extra arrow keys.
As for keycaps, if you will pay attention to the upper left and lower right, you'll notice that those keycaps are of non-standard sizes. This makes replacing them (and maintain the color scheme) impossible with the more color coordinated sets such as Sunset or Miami.
Ajazz is launching its own keysets for the AK33, but so far they haven't reached the west yet.
Don't quote me on that, though. I'm not even 100% sure they have Cherry-style switches in them. I'll go read up on them a little bit and come back with a more definitive answer tomorrow probably lmao
I know you have the option to choose either Blue or Black switches, if that helps
