What is SpaceFN and why you should give it a try

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.

Thanks again for purchasing the Massdrop x Input Club K-Type Mechanical Keyboard! Here are some notes to get you started:
Your new keyboard is ready to use out of the box. Simply plug in the USB Type-C cable into either of the ports and start typing.
- If would like to customize your key map or lighting modes, please visit the K-Type Configurator https://input.club/configurator/. The configurator allows you to generate a new version of the firmware and flash it to the keyboard. Please note that flashing procedures will vary depending on your computer operating system.
- (The configurator is still undergoing final validation. Input Club has indicated they will have the final version of the configurator ready on 11/5/17 with more functionality, including full customization of the LEDs and lighting modes.)
