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 also will not do business with MD any more. I used to be one of your biggest defenders, but things are drastically downhill. I definitely trust their side of events more than yours, when you've dropped the ball repeatedly lately on every drop I've been in, and it's not like this is the first company complaining that you tried to exploit them.
If Input Club says these are not authentic HALO switches, they are not authentic HALO switches. I couldn't give a hoot what the licensing agreements are, INPUT CLUB is the company I trust to design a good switch.
If you're bothered by any of this then I'd suggest taking up the status of your k-type order with Massdrop customer service. You'll probably be able to get a refund on it, which is more than making demands in the talk section can accomplish.
Even if MD gave in and said that these switches aren't endoresed by IC or whatever, it isn't going to change anything about the quality or specs of the switch. The switches will still be produced by Kaihl, and they'll be the same as if this entire thing never happened. They could call them Kaihl Creams or something, it's just a name in the end.
