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....

In the meantime, we should be getting some samples of the reinforced USB PCBs in the next week or two.
The new interlink cables will be sent out to everyone. We are waiting on the shipment to arrive from the cable vendor.
Finally, we are going to get some testing done in the next two weeks on solutions for those of you with LCDs stuck on one color.
1. The reinforced USB feels a lot better on the samples. 2. Looks like we have a solution to the people with LCDs getting stuck on one color. Just testing a couple more and we will get the fix sent out to everyone that's affected. 3. All the new interlink cables were sent out to everyone. So keep an eye out for it. 4. We are working hard to beat the previous end of December estimate for the rest of ergodoxes. Should have some more news for everyone by the beginning of next week.
EDIT: Quick update about ship date - we are still looking to beat the previous estimate. Just finalizing a few more things and I should have a solid date - working on this on the daily and will update as soon as I have something solid.
