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....

Just want to point out that I've been having increasing keychatter issues, same as several others on this board (where you press aaaa key aand you get a double press or more). It started off as just my 's' key, but it's slowly spread to 'a' and 'h' over the last few months. At first I thought it was my keycaps, but I've switched those out a few times. I've tried taking it apart and cleaning out the case, thinking maybe something was off with the soldering or maybe I'd gotten something stuck in there. No such luck, it looks fine under just a visual inspection, I think it must be something wrong with the PCB or maybe the switches themselves.
Pretty sad about this, I really loved this keyboard until the keychatter thing cropped up.
