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?

1) Drop point for 1000 units is added now. 2) At 1000 units, we will be adding 3 novelty keycaps to the base set as well. This includes a plum Esc key and 2 plum OS replacement caps.
The novelty will use artwork created by Massdrop's very own @oshet - you guys can see the plum attached here. Note that some changes will need to be made so this can be double-shotted.
What size for the two plum OS replacement caps? My guess is 1u and 1.25u to match the offerings in the set? I'd be legit hyped if its 1.5u.
