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've searched all over the place but I cannot find a set/combination that is both shine through and look like the factory set. Therefore I consulted a friend in the keycaps studio and he said making such a set is possible. The ideal result would be a shine through set which includes all the keys WhiteFox has, including the big Enter and the square/triangle/circle keys, and retains all the keys' height and fonts.
Now I'm posting to see how many of you are interested. If enough people are, we can create a drop. (I'm not sure how exactly polling/dropping works, but I assume this is a good place to post this.) Please reply with any question you have, and also reply if you are interested. As for whether or not my friend's studio is solid, I've attached a few pictures of their work.
