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.

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?

We have an update on the status of the Massdrop x OLKB Planck Light Mechanical Keyboard. Unfortunately we had some troubles with the PCB production, which extended the lead time longer than what we budgeted for. We now estimate that the kits will ship in early July.
We’ve worked with the designer and our manufacturer to work past these issues, and we now expect the new PCBs to be ready by mid June. Other components like the CNC case, plate, accessories and keycaps are completed, and we’re waiting for the PCB so we can pack everything together.
We apologize for this delay and we are working the team to get these kits produced and shipped in a timely manner. If you don’t want to wait the additional time, you can cancel your order via the transactions page: https://www.massdrop.com/transactions
We’ll provide an update in mid June with the latest information.
