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 will start with my two latest arrivals.
Please be sure to include pictures and info about the artist, price if you want.
And you can even post caps you traded for or bought on the secondary market.
Only rule is you have to have recently acquired them.
Here we go! First up is Salvun's KickStarter AMK caps.

And his new website.
Let's make him famous!

I saw his posts on Reddit and sent him a PM.
We talked for a minute and threw some ideas around and I feel like I helped sparked something.
He decided that those of us buying 4 caps would get an aluminum case, and he came through.
I feel like I am carrying Marsellus Wallace's briefcase when I have it in my hands.
As for the dickbutt, I don't know if that's just for me because he said he had something special for me.
But I am pretty sure it is, and for that I am forever grateful. Because I am FKing DBAG!
Thanks Salvun!
Next up and definitely not last. You all know who they are just by seeing their caps.
It's the infamous and notorious JellyKey team!
How I have admired them since I won my first cap raffle, the oh so rare FaceBook Like caps.
I actually won and then asked them to make me one that was an Unlike cap, and they did. You are always in my heart guys. I never forget a friend.
When you see these in person, pictures can't do them justice, granted I don't have a DSLR yet and I am not a photographer or PS wizard. They feel amazing, almost otherworldly.
The space one really exemplifies space, cold, dark, and bleak yet there's a shimmer of life somewhere inside of it.
And the Moon? Come on, that thing is so perfect, mine even has a little darkside in it.
My only regret, not having bought 6 of each so I could just fill an entire section of my keyboard.
Thank you everyone at JK, always a fan!
