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.

The Input Club Aura Case:
During the design phase, I looked at many different designs. I got my inspiration for the Aura from the penthouse deck of the Ritz Carlton of Dallas http://www.haroldleidner.com/portfolio/dallas-skyline/. The way the lighting is set up the couches look like they are floating there and it looks very inviting and comfortable. I wanted that level of luxury and aesthetic in my keyboard.
The case is RGB underglow capable and sits at a permanent 5 degree angle. The units will be billet (one piece of aluminum). The case will be interchangeable for all 60% keyboards that have the same PCB hole locations as the Infinity keyboard https://input.club/devices/infinity-keyboard. The LED portion of the case is separate from the keyboard, meaning it will be compatible with existing 60% layouts. There will be no soldering required for this modification.
Price:
