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....

Welcome to the latest edition of the keycap re-cap series. This one will run like the previous one from January.
We will initially allow each person to purchase up to 2 kits on 6/28 at 6:00 a.m. PT. At around noon PT, I will open up the drop for additional kits to be added to the same order.
If you do not want to be double charged for shipping, please make sure to wait and add more kits to your order instead of placing another order.
Regarding the kits available, we will be doing a talk post with information on what will be available similar to the drop in January. I will add the link here once that’s complete.
EDIT: Here is a list of what will be available starting tomorrow · Massdrop x T0mb3ry SA Carbon Custom Keycap Set - Most kits including base alphas available · Massdrop x Zambumon GMK Nautilus Custom Keycap Set - Very limited quantities of most kits including base alphas available · Massdrop x MiTo XDA Godspeed Custom Keycap Set - Most kits including base alphas available in limited quantities · Overcast DSA Custom Keycap Set - Limited ISO / UK kits available · Godspeed Custom SA Keycap Set - Limited novelties and lab kits · Dasher & Dancer SA Custom Keycap Set - Limited ISO kits and OS Mods · Planck Keycap Set - Various blank kits available
6/27/18 Update After some due diligence, we realized there are actually no Infinity Dye Sub Keycaps in our inventory - those will not appear in the drop.
6/28/18 12:00 p.m. PT Update Opened up ordering to 4 kits total per user. I'll check back in the afternoon and let everyone know when we'll open up for more kits.
Awesome.
@rowie @OldCat no GMK Laser will not be apart of this. This will only contain keycaps from kits that have shipped.
Though if you’ve seen the stock numbers from previous recaps, the chances of getting anything I want are slim to none.
With Paypal you will want to keep an eye out in case there is a payment issue. You have 24 hours from the close of the drop (6/30 10:00 p.m. PT) to get payment fixed if there is an issue.
@dandel @jrjr2 thank you for the kind words!
