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....

Its Christos from the Planfab team again.
We just finished one more Keycap for Cherry MX switches.
This time we decided to design something for the Retro lovers. Based on photos of old IBM computers we made a Retro PC keycap.
We painted our prototype according to the original beige color of old computers and added a touch of orange in order to fit better on a carbon set. However, we need a little help to decide which color schemes we should produce.
Please help us out to decide which color schemes we should consider.
This is a two-part set, but we also plan on selling the screen on its own.
You can find out more keycaps ιn our shop!
Feedback and recommendations are welcome.
Cheers
Christos
