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....

For my original GH60 PCB from TechKeys, as well as my GH60 Satan, that riser I pointed out falls exactly under on the of clips for the stabilizers for the left Shift key (see image). When you screw the PCB in to the case, it will pop the stab off the PCB, causing the key to be skewed.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I am thinking of taking the case into the local Hacker space and grind that riser down somehow.
