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....

When I started, I wanted to keep it simple. Really simple. No novelty legends and just enough kits to satisfy full-size, TKL, and 60% board users. But as 2016 progressed, it became clear that the expectations for a keycap set run through MassDrop had grown considerably. Reaching Planck, ErgoDox, and WhiteFox users is now the new normal. And more and more, the Nordic community is making itself heard. Before I knew it, my job became considerably more challenging.
But I think the extra effort was worth it. My goal is to put a beautiful dual-blue colorway on as many keyboards out there as possible. To anyone whose favorite alternate layout has been left out, I apologize. Maybe we can accommodate you in round two!
