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....

While packing up the assembled kits, it was noticed that some of the stabilized keys were sticking. A spot test showed that ~30% of the keyboards were experiencing this issue so we looked into what the cause was.
It appears that during the laser cutting of the plates some of the slots for the stabilizer inserts were shifted by up to 0.4mm. The WhiteFox is designed with 0.2mm tolerances and this additional margin of error was causing enough friction on the stabilizer and keycaps to result in stuck keys.
We are already having the plates recut for the entire drop and are addressing the already assembled units.
This unfortunately adds a delay for the assembled units, but we are rushing to have them corrected as soon as possible.
For anyone with a barebones or unassembled kit who has received their kit or shipping notification, there is a chance that your plate has been affected by this. Please check all your stabilized keys for any sticking and contact Community Support if you are experiencing any sticking of your keys. As soon as we have the recut plates we will send out a replacement to everyone who has contacted us as being affected.
We apologize for this inconvenience and will let you know as soon as we have more information.
Expect another update from us on 12/15 or sooner if something comes up.
