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....

Hope this helps.
Also a bit of a shame that the typeface couldn't be as thin as it is in the renders.
Thanks for the pics!
To be honest, I have pretty bad eyes so at first I did not realise how colour tones might have been different. After reading your comments, I think the colour might be a little more creamy than how it shows on the description page.
I also have yellowish/dark lighting, so I used my table lamp (which has relatively more white lighting) and took the photos again. This is the photo of the keycaps under direct light.
I wanted to put something everyone knows to compare the colours, but I couldn't think of one... so instead I compared with Tai-Hao ABS Carbon keycaps.
Hope this helps.
