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....

dam I just woke up and there were 30 secs left in the drop. I was able to join.
$300 for 4 months is nothing in the KB world.
that said you are also making some rather baseless assumption, they aren’t “sitting on the funds collecting interest“, they send the money to GMK and then GMK uses it to manufacture said keyboards. That’s how purchasing without a distributor works. That’s economics, something even a chump would realize.
i dont really see why it matters tho. i struggle to believe you would have purchase this keyboard even if it was readily available, as if you really wanted it you wouldn’t care either way.
If high end mechanical keyboards arent your thing, there is no shame in that, but there is no reason to shit on people who disagree with you simply because you really enjoy your razer keyboard. There are no readily available keyboard that are comparable to this that I am aware of. 0.
It’s ALL through group buys, and you are LUCKY if they take 4 months AND you often have to win a slot, because that’s the other thing is, most high end kb GBs have limited slots. look at any of the nicest boards like any duck keyboard or for something more specific look at the TGR-910 CE; 30 slots, around ~400 shipped, 8-10 weeks, sold out in about a minute. but that’s just the beginning. Keyboard like the MIRA sometimes take a year or more to deliver.
also, almost everything on massdrop ships in like 2-3 months anyway.
I’m not really sure why you are confused. They cannot magically ship the keyboard before it’s manufactured. CNC cases take time, there is no getting around it.
Raiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightt... its the end of 2017/ beginning of 2018 and I am surprise people as stupid as you exist.
You can easily file a fraud claim with your credit card company and get your money back.
I signed up for GYM, and on the 6th month the Owner disappeared. Requested a charge back and got full credit back.
