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....

Apart from that, it is a solid keyboard. For the $135 massdrop price, compaired to some other keyboards, you cant go wrong. It will last you longer than some of the "gaming" keyboards out there. It looks very clean as well. The white backlight to me is a better choice than newer RGB lighting, and honestly I'd rather be able to see my keyboard, not squint at it's weird colors.
As far as switch choices go, I was -not- accustomed to greens before this board, but I gave them a chance and I loved them. My favorite switches however are browns. I have been debating getting another with brown switches (at the time, they did not sell it with brown switches.)
