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....

1) The original "mixed light" (aka Rainbow light, with each key gets one LED, but different rows get different colors) S108, which is Kailh switch.
2) The new "White with icy-blue backlight Cherry switch" edition (launched 2016) and its cousin
3) "black with yellow/gold backlight Cherry switch" edition (launched 2016).
I am GUESSING that they are dropping the Cherry editions on us, but they kept the pictures from the old Kailh edition. Yanbo, confirmation please!
These were some leftover special original edition from RK. These will ship with Cherry MX Blues.
