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....

I'm a bit confused, which picture/colors to trust, the one shown at description or https://imgur.com/a/NFOXl
I think it's safe to assume the upper is what to expect however - especially if that green blank key shown with the beige set is the same (ish) colour as 9009 since that's exactly what they look like irl.

Would you mind to share your thoughts on this one: https://en.zfrontier.com/products/ganss-alt71?variant=3960238735371 the full package.
Overall I think the price is not bad, you're paying for the technology, R&D, etc for such a concept - other modular keyboards have been tried but this one seems to make a lot more sense from an engineering point of view. If it's something that interests you then I think it's a solid buy!
