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....

First the board: I want a white or cream colored board with either Gateron or Cherry greens for this set to go on but can't seem to find one. Any suggestions?
Second the profile: I also can't decide between the Cockpit with the flatter profile or the fully sculpted of the base and mods. I don't care about the cost saving. Any opinions on preference on those two would be greately appreciated (I do also have Jukebox coming coming to if I did go with the Cockpit I guess I would have one of each).
Thanks!
Do you have a form-factore preference (i.e. 60%, TKL)?
As for your profile preference question, please give the review I made a read, click on MORE and it will show up!

The geekhack link was great!! Huge help. I think that settles it for me. Going to go with the Cockpit.

Don't know if you're a fan of blues , but they also sell the same board with other switches.
For said keyboard, the Cockpit kit will be enough!
Let me know if you need further help!
