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....

This is indeed a very GOOD deal, includes everything to get this connected to any PC and have it working immediately.
More importantly, why does the lack of their involvement automatically mean the product won't be "decent"?
He only designs the keyboard casing and leaves the PCB to one of his friends to design and manufacture.
He's been doing it for years and I have a few of his designs but lately his prices are sky rocketing hence best to look elsewhere. Not saying his work is bad, it's quite good but the pricing is getting quite ridiculous.
At least here on MD, I can buy some designer looking keyboards for the kids without busting the bank account.
There are very few current designs wanting to use old age type writer designs in a 60% size. In fact you may be the very first individual to do that here.
Also the colours you picked help push this design into a rare status worthy of a decent design, despite ignorant spurting from a tiny minority.
You have a following here so don't get too depressed about that, it shows you're doing something right and we do appreciate what you've done. After all we're all here with our money and that says something far more than anything else.
