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....

I will stick it here. I believed their keycaps are only replaceable with their own "Typewriter" keycaps only. And I CANNOT BELIEVE how a company in this era can still think a keyboard is a disposable product.

This is a typewriter board, if you want a normal keyboard why not go buy one?
And his comment is valid, he says you can use keycaps on the SWITCHES, which is true. He says if you were to use other keycaps on this board you would need longer stems, also true. At no point in that comment does he say the keyboard supports standard MX caps...
