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....

i’m not going to buy into another group buy just to go through it all over again.
Neither was your first comment. Just buy them directly from someone like mechanicalkeyboards.com if you can't tolerate the risk of a problem with your order from Massdrop.
Every person who purchases an item from an online vendor has an understanding that there is a possibility that they get sent the wrong item. If your comment included Massdrop's reaction when you told them about the missing item that might actually be useful. Instead your comment was like a status update no one asked for and provided no real insight into whether this is something that could happen to someone else.
" i don’t know what your expectation is here but the argumentative attitude just makes you look silly. "
" this couldn’t have been a worse thing to do "
Equating getting the wrong $30 dollar keycaps to the worse thing someone could do to you is what looks silly here.
you purchase an item from amazon.com and you get the wrong one. don't be mad though! you have no basis for leaving a negative comment! you had the expectation and understanding you'd get a wrong product.
yeah - said no one ever. except for you. the one guy on the internet who has to insist that he's right, randomly, for no reason other than just to try and prove you're right.
Is it really though? Charging you and not sending a product until past the date you are moving and having to redirect the order via massdrop or the carrier is worse. Your current situation actually allows for you to return, have a clean break, and get your money back and place a new order to your new address.
" you purchase an item from amazon.com and you get the wrong one. don't be mad though! you have no basis for leaving a negative comment! you had the expectation and understanding you'd get a wrong product. "
Where would this negative comment be left on amazon? The only public places for posting are either the question or review areas and neither of those places would be appropriate for a comment that amazon sent you the wrong thing (especially if there was no other information related to the actual product). Its even worse when people rate the product a 1 star on amazon because they were sent the wrong thing. This effectively skews the reviews over something the manufacturer has no control over in the production of the product.
" yeah - said no one ever. except for you. the one guy on the internet who has to insist that he's right, randomly, for no reason other than just to try and prove you're right. "
Takes two to tango bud.
the fact that you're continuing to respond with snarky quips just proves my point
