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....

Thank you for all your feedback. A lot of you have expressed your dissatisfaction with this drop in the discussion and in private messages to us. After a lot of deliberation and input from other members of the Mech Keys team (Brian, Yanbo, Alex, and Kunal), we’ve decided to close this drop.
We take the comments and context given to us by the community extremely seriously. In this case, there are significant outstanding issues and we’ve decided to close the drop. This does not necessarily mean that we would not work with them in the future. Once the vendor makes right on their existing promises to the community and has earned the goodwill of its members, we would be happy to work with them at that time.
I can’t thank you guys enough for being vigilant and keeping us honest. We always love the feedback and the checks and balances that you all provide.
Lastly, for everyone who joined this drop, we’ll work on getting other similar products to you soon.
Ill just leave it at that.
Best wishes to all involved, including Sprit. You can still make good and improve your standings in the community.
Really, I feel a little bad getting so angry with this whole situation, so apologies if I came off a little harsh, or as some sort of self-anointed police of the Keyboard Community(tm)
It just gets frustrating watching when a business that has fleeced you appears to get support. And my order is small compared to others, so I can only imagine.
Anyway, be careful of the dog. She gets too excited sometimes and nibbles on noses.
