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....

Will there be an option for black Keycaps?
The description mentions choice of backlighting colors. Can the backlighting also be dimmed?
Is the programming "baked in" to the keyboard, so that a programmed keyboard can be taken between multiple computers while maintaining programming and without installing driver software?
Will there be Mac support? I.e. will there be "command" keycaps included, and can the keyboard be programmed to swap the positions of the Alt and Windows/Command keys?
Thanks!
Massdrop's new design choice of semi-infinite scroll on comments display means not all comments are CTRL+F-able until you've managed to page down and back up and back down enough times to convince the site to load the entire comment history. This coupled with the lack of any built in comments search means that I can't quite fault people who give up before they've managed to make a complete search of things.
Kudos for the "just follow OverKill's comment history" suggestion, it's just a shame that such workarounds are so very sorely needed. :)
