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....

My Corsair/Cooler Master/Nighthawk OEM keyboards are always left out, kinda sucks to change everything but R1 :(
If you go to pimpmykeyboard.com, they do sell DSA (http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-spacebars-pack-of-1/) and DCS (http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dcs-spacebars-pack-of-1/) spacebars in various sizes. Alternatively, you can get a custom kit from maxkeyboards.com which will ship with 6u, 6.25u, or 6.5u spacebars.
If you're looking for SA or GMK 6.5u...well, don't get those keycaps.
