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....

Personally I might wait on the True/Clear because they will be guaranteed to be available at a later drop, and I want to guarantee getting myself the other variants with the light tube underneath since its not known if those will be sold later.
Also I'm not 100% sure how the new switches will go down, judging by the graphs it looks like they might be a bit mushy and inconsistent with the feeling of having actuated the switch and the travel distance actuating it being much further away and not a steady drop in weight after having actuated the switch
i went through the same thought process and went with copper too.
That being said, I think its a pretty good plan to try to pick up Halo's later, but I wouldn't expect to see them until next year sometime after the dust settles from this drop.
@IC: What do you say ? :p
