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....

for mx black but they are all in stock
My problem is people refuse to use common since are even think... now days.. if there not getting there way and a gold star and a puppy to pet.. then obviously the world is at fault and they need to pitch a hiss fit till they get there way.
I totally agree that MD is not perfect and sometimes there prices leave me going hu... but at the same time MD offers a lot of Exclusive! I don't see any one else offering Lazer are really any of Mito's drops!.. oops those are MD exclusives and outside of buying them second hand off mechmarket for most likely a handsome markup.. your never going to see them out side of MD.. least not round 1.
Then there is the fact that you know lot of people complain about MD and there lack of support are what not.. I contacted support several times. I found as long as your friendly <---- Keyword!... and not demanding <--- another keyword.. Then there support will pretty much bend over backwards to accommodate ya. I doubt I am just lucky enough for this to be the case. I really do but hey its possible.
Then there is the misinformation about MD that people love to spread.. like the Godspeed drop from what I have heard that wasn't MD's fault.. MD contacted those buyers and offered to get them the items in question. Those buyers refused and got refunded. Given they where most likely proxy buys.. the proxy's most likely just didn't want to have to wait are deal with it any longer.. not to mention people using buyer protection on them ETC ETC.. and decided to pull out. But of course instead of thinking about it in a rational method people where quick to blame MD. Cause why who knows....
I can't defend everything they do like sending out the 2 left handed PCB's for that one drop. Doing that once is one thing it continuing to happen. I can explain why it would happen but it shouldn't be happening.
I am sure Massdrop does the best they can with what they have and they do a service to the community.. its just there a very vocal minority that wants to whine cause they don't understand how mass drop works are why it even exist.
O yea one other thing keep in mind you might could get this cheaper on another website! but can you get it shipped outside the United States and if so how much? Shoot I seen another KB buy where shipping to other locations was OBSCENE we are talking like 100+ for some locations outside of American/Canada and that doesn't include vat or even there charges for customs.. so yea this might still be cheaper for some people.. not everyone lives in the United States where.. there decent amount of vendors to choose from and shipping fee's are reasonable.
