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....

As @YanboWu mentioned below there was a bit of a mystery PCB bug going from prototype to production that the MD team was able to fix on their recent trip. Turns out controlling humidity is pretty important for storing/soldering LED's and a few extra hours spent drying the components has solved the issue.
With that I think it means we're back on track and we'll have to wait for @YanboWu and team for the final schedule which shouldn't be too far off.
Thanks everyone for hanging tight!
