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....

I imagine the caps will look great with GMK Forge. There may be a bit of orange HUE, but just going off the photo, the cap appears 100% red... Not Orange. If you actually take samples of the image and measure the colors, there are parts with codes like:
#D60019
Note that means 0 green which means NO YELLOW.
On the parts that are "orange" the codes are like:
#FC3533 or #F2421C
The thing is that means there is as much blue as there is green.... the reason... its a highlight so the actual color being added is the white of a reflection.
You cannot just pretend a photo is some magic flat representation of color. You are seeing a 3d object in 2d... there are highlights and lowlights.
A better image to look at the color would be the spacebars:
There is absolutely a bit of orange hue just like I said before, but it is absolutely a shade of red.
