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....

We’ve been working with @intelli78 and GMK for the past few weeks to make sure that all of the colors in the Triumph Adler keycap set were precisely the way that they should be. When we started this drop, we had a specific shade of teal for the modifiers that we were working with that looked great on paper and on a screen, unfortunately the plastic sample we ordered before wasn’t a perfect fit.
As a result, we have been intentionally delaying the start of the production process on the modifiers per @intelli78’s request. This is a very large drop, and the first GMK drop we have ever run, so we want to make sure that absolutely every aspect of this keycap set is correct, both on screen, and in reality.
We spent the past week iterating on different plastic samples with @intelli78, and have finally found the perfect mix of plastics that represents an accurate version of what you see on the listing. Normally, this is a much easier process, since most GMK keycap sets don’t have custom colors.
The consequence of this is that there will be a two week delay with delivery for everyone in this drop. As it currently stands, all of the color chips that match exactly what we will be producing have been sent off to GMK, and from this point forward, everything should be completely on track.
Thanks for your patience and expect an update from us on 5/13 or sooner if something comes up
