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....

OH and if you are confused as to what the F10 and F11 keys are for, it is to change the latency of the keys so that if you get any ageing (lets face it I'm sure a lot of us change keyboards once every 2 years if not more! So this might never be a good feature) So if you are typing on your keyboard and suddenly discover that the keyboard is missing individual key presses, you have likely increased the latency. Spam FN + F10 and it should solve the problem.
Don't know if anyone would also happen to know if you can put a pair of eneloops in this for example and then charge them by having the keyboard plugged in?

As for charging the batteries in the keyboard by plugging it in, although I haven't tried it, I am going to have to say it is something that would be too good to be true. I don't think it is possible.
