As one of the QMK Firmware maintainers, it's great to see you're going ahead with the customisable side of things even on the input side.
Might I suggest engaging with QMK early so that we can avoid the usual manufacturer "hey can you merge this, we've shipped already and forgot to raise the PR until now"?
- nrp 4y agoAbsolutely! We’ve been chatting with Jack Humbert, and he’s actually been prototyping an ortholinear keyboard module for the Framework Laptop 16. There are likely some photos of it in press articles about the event today.
- ploum 4y agoAn ortholinear keyboard? Wow, that’s my dream. Do you have the link? (and when will you eventually ship to Belgium?)
- pbronez 4y agoan ortholinear laptop keyboard?????? yes please.
- CarVac 4y agoIs there a chance you could have individual scissor switch key modules made for DIY ergonomic layouts on a custom PCB? The height limitations of the 16" laptop are too low for low-profile discrete mechanical switches.
- nrp 4y agoThat is a really interesting idea and something we'll explore.
- CarVac 4y agoThanks! I use a 46-key ergo layout (Mitosis) that would be perfect for a laptop and have always itched to have it integrated into the computer.
- tgrosinger 4y agoKailh makes a scissor switch module but I think it's still too thick. http://www.kailh.com/en/Products/Ks/NotebookS/ http://www.kailh.com/en/Products/Ks/NotebookS/
- AprilArcus 4y agoJoining the chorus clamoring for this <3
- galkk 4y agoJust take my money already
- eviks 4y agoThat's great news, any chance for an orthostaggered module as our fingers have different lengths for a linear one (or maybe that's what you meant with just terminology slip)
- ManUtopiK 4y agoAnd do you know for the Framework Laptop 13 ?
- chaorace 4y agoIf you folks and Jack manage to make the OLKB module a reality, you'll have me vendorlocked for life. I think I'd go so far as buying 3 of those modules just to be extra sure that I'm set with replacement parts. Uh... completely unrelated question: have you laid out any plans regarding module backcompatibility on future boards?
- yencabulator 4y agoIf you make an ortholinear keyboard for the 13er, you'll have my preorder immediately. (I have no interest in big laptops. The 13 is probably the physically biggest laptop I've owned in a very long time.)
