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.

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?

I know that the community used to think that backlit/RGB is kinda a gimmicky thing for "gaming" keyboards and prefer the "no BS, vintage" keyboards. But lately (for like a year now) almosty every new keyboards support LED backlit (white/icy blue or full on RGB) even the more expensive "enthusiast" one like the recent K-type and there are still very few set that support backlit
(and none of more expensive custom sets SA/GMK/DSA... have backlit capability)
Any1 have any thought about this ??
