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....

Edit. I just got the KUL keyboard and did a few test types on the keyboard. From typing point of view, the keyboard is far superior to CODE without any doubt. The switches feel like they have already been broken in (meaning very smooth.) The clear switches on CODE felt a lot harder to type on. The most important of all, the keyboard has much less pinging compared to code. It's more like the usual pinging with tactile switches, which is fine with me. Physical keyboard construction is below CODE. If V80 is on par with KUL, it would be a great keyboard.
