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....

I suppose I'll eventually figure it out once I finish sifting through the rest of them. But TBH, my extreme disappointment has left me so demotivated that it'll probably take me a while before I touch that messy bag of keys again.
Quality control FTW. I thought we're getting discounts for buying in bulk? Did I get that wrong and we're really getting discounts for buying junk instead? I've only been around for 2 months and I already joined 14 drops. I think Massdrop is telling me to start staying away. Really p̶i̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ disappointed.
All the Vortex keycaps I've bought come loose in a plastic bag. Even in retail packaging, these are loose in a plastic bag, the only difference is that the plastic bag is in a cylinder container.
I wish Massdrop will have a drop on the plastic keycap tray that EliteKeyboard sells for $6 (but I haven't seen it in stock yet).
@theimmc The color changers are for something else (I did mention that I used to buy keyboards/keycaps somewhere else). I already have a pile of em, but can't stop myself from getting more. Nasty habit I need to break.
