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....

- God MT3 Alphas x Dev MT3 Alphas ($50 x $50)
Dev comes with more keycaps but God has Latin, Runes, Japanese and Russian. God has 4 total options so you can create your keyset as you want (God has 4 Alphas x 4 Mods = 16 different looks right off the bat without even adding any novelties, no other keycap set design comes close to this), this came with a justifiable, in my opinion, fee;- God MT3 Mods x Dev MT3 Mods + Extras - $60 x$76
Dev price is much worse than God because you have to buy two kits to achieve the same compatibility. If you compare the Mod kits only ($60 x $46), God is $14 more expensive and it has 18 more useful keycaps than Dev. This comparison can be done on many of the child kits, God kits have more compatibility and overall more usability. The more unities are sold, the more the prices will normalize. I won't compare with Godspeed XDA because it's a completely different product and project, like comparing apple to oranges. Other than the name and plastic substance used everything else is different.
