More generally, I would love if the custom keyboard community jumped on this bandwagon and we saw ergonomic keyboards (and a trackpoint) for the Framework laptop.
- getcrunk 5y agoThat would be amazing. Omg low profile blues with a nipple. 60%kb
- rgoulter 5y agoI pestered in one of the other HN threads about the Framework laptop that having ortholinear keys would be cool. It's technically feasible, but would be too expensive without sufficient quantity being made. Looks to me that to allow for even the low-profile Kailh choc switches, the laptop would need to be much thicker. (The DIY laptop is 15mm thick. My PCB+kailh+bumpons keyboard is 14mm thick). https://github.com/saoto28/pineapple60 https://github.com/saoto28/pineapple60 This (for the ThinkPad T470) barely fits, and that laptop is 24mm thick.
- codethief 5y agoThanks for the comment! Mechanical switches would definitely be cool but to be honest I'd already be happy with a different (more ergonomical) layout. :)
