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....

Seriously wondering about what compensation people would have in mind? Free keyboard? 10 bucks off? Lifetime membership for the gym? Free coffee at Starbucks for a year all because the 60-70 dollar keyboard you ordered will arrive somewhat later than expected?
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't there an option to bail out when you don't want to wait for this any longer?
Maybe I am too tolerant and too patient and the right thing to do is ask for compensation. Maybe that is just what we expect now, if one screws up... WE NEED TO BE COMPENSATED!!!
As far as what compensation I have in mind, I am not positive. Potentially some keycaps? Maybe a mousepad? Maybe some sort of discount? I am not positive as to what the compensation should be however I feel as though there should be some.
Personally, I would have paid the extra money somewhere else and enjoyed my product for a few extra months had I known this would happen. Bailing now does not give us back the time we have waited. It's not outrageous to request compensation when they didn't follow through with the original ship date.
