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 agree that the manual is bad. This keyboard is supposed to be fully programmable and support NKRO but there is nothing about how to set this up in there.
From the description here on massdrop: "Thanks to 100-percent anti-ghosting and full-key rollover technology you can click multiple keys simultaneously without worrying about complications. The keyboard also features three built-in layouts including Qwerty, Dvorak, and Colemak, in addition to onboard memory, so you can setup macros and bring them wherever you go."
"Individual key programming Onboard memory"
If it has on-board memory and I can set up macros and take them wherever I go. There has to be a way to get those Macros that I set up into, "the on board memory and store them later for execution, wherever I go", and that sounds like a programming language to me. (Input, Output, Execute, Store, that is the basic definition of a programming language, or at least what I was taught in College)
I have hopes that I will someday find a Manual or a Video that has shows how to use this keyboard. For now it is back in the box and put away. Nice Aluminium case for the price, too bad I can't figure out how to configure (or successfully setup) the keyboard that is in it. Till I find such a Video or Manual, or a new set of works to put in it, for me at least, it's a nice Doorstop.
