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....

Thank you for your participation in these discussions. Your responses have earned me as a fan, and I will look forward to supporting you in the future. However, regarding this drop: I don't enjoy the actual keycaps, nor do I find the price point reasonable. You address issues with the cost in your post, but I think you're missing a very big point: It is significantly less difficult selling more caps at $25-30, than it is fewer caps at $45-50. If you require a larger MOQ for the lower price, then it makes sense to shoot for the larger MOQ at a lower price point when you'll be selling more for less.
While I see the incredible craftsmanship that went into producing this cap, I unfortunately just don't like the design (too bulky, too tall, I definitely didn't see an scv, and I wouldn't want an scv on my board anyway).
I will keep my eyes out for your drops in the future though! Good luck!
