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....

Moving from a mechanical there really isn't a comparison. It's a very different experience with different feel and sound. The high spherical keycaps are exactly what I like (using SA profile on Cherrys, normally) so it wasn't hard to adjust and that's the reason this is my easy choice among boards with Topre switches.
Of all the keyboards I own this feels like the most high quality, a very solid and heavy product. I think it is worth the money, but if it is for you or not I don't know - I would have liked to be able to try before buying but happy I took the risk.
As for this deal, hmm. Free headphones to compensate for long shipping delays...
