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.

Based upon asking around and some quick reading it looks like subatomic and whitefox are both going to drop in April which means those are likely the next 3 boards to drop in some order. MD could also be changing things up as it seems like they've been expanding lately.
and they will probably do another one eventually; so your not losing anything ( or just buy a used one which will have it assembled at a cheap price while the mass drop is active so you can get it even cheaper, or don't get it) hopefully this is helpful
