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.

With any of our keycap drops, we generally order more units than we need just in case. Over time, we end up with a closet full of keycap sets that need to find a home so we’re once again offering these hard-to-find items back to the community.
This drop will be structured similarly to the first Capatoa Keycap Explosion drop. It will run until Wednesday, January 31 (10:00 p.m. PT). After that, our warehouse will work on gathering all the keycaps and get everyone’s orders shipped out. There will be no wait for production since these are made already.
The drop will start with a 2 kit limit per user. As the drop progresses, we’ll open up the ordering quantities more and more. The idea is to let everyone have a shot at getting the sets they need. See the list below for what’s available.These kits go fast and certain quantities are low so you best act quickly.
