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....

The price of the keyboard isn't really a problem. In fact, with free shipping, you're saving maybe $10 over buying it from EliteKeyboards. The deal here is that you're getting some pens with it.
Many Topre enthusiasts harvest these boards for their caps. For me, having a 55g 87U with HiPro caps is pretty much Topre endgame!
I think Md ought to change the wording in this listing. Many aren't going to find it easily; I've skimmed over it a few times without realizing it was the HiPro keyboard. The caps should be emphasized, as well as the pen, in the title, and also in the description throughout.
