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 not defending MD, I'm just saying that outside of US, it is sometimes hard to find what you want and shipping is usually very high. And I usually pay tax at customs office no matter where I order from (as long as it's outside EU). If I lived in the US, I probably wouldn't use MD for this specific drop. Alas, I do not and MD is, as far as I see, currently the best option for this item if you're from Europe.
I think I and a lot of others (In the US particularly) are mostly just disappointed, having bought into the drop and realizing too late that there was really no benefit to waiting almost 2 months to get our purchase delivered. Personally, being in California, I just ordered another board with my second choice of switches from the eBay store and I should have it by Monday, if not sooner. To each their own, I suppose.
