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....

Save one for me! haha
It was probably for the best though, I have way too many caps anyway haha.
That said, part of the expense is just production in general. If you compare a GMK or SP doubleshot ABS set with say a $50 ABS set from Amazon or WASD you'll be surprised at the difference in quality.
I only spent $89 on my Amazing Chocolatier set from SP, and it was worth every penny. If this were to drop again in SA profile I'd be all over it. I do love GMK, but as i said earlier in the thread, this seems to lose something in cherry profile.
Now, DSA troubled minds would be possible and wouldn't have nearly as long of a wait as SA, nor would it be the massive undertaking that retooling all of the GMK molds would be. However, this is thesiscamper's set so ultimately the decision of where it goes is his to make.
DSA seems to be having a pretty long wait these days too. But I would also love this in that profile. Honestly, I like almost all the profiles more than Cherry. But at the end of the day I love the colors and would probably buy them in any profile.
