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....

But I see that the Red/white (shouldn't this one be White/red to keep things consistent with the others?!) and the White/orange have the same number of extra keys in the picture. Yet the list shows different numbers. The same applies to the Black/pink and White/pink, same extra caps in the picture but different numbers in the list. So what's accurate, the pic or the list? If I counted correctly the pic for the Black/Orange kit suggests 132 keycaps, the ones for Red/white and White/orange suggest 135 keycaps and the other two suggest 144 keys. What exactly are we getting here? I want to add a JTK set to my collection but I'm confused by the discrepancies between the pics and the description.
