Here’s a keyboard for the Framework laptop.

I know there will probably come a time where we can get an official ortho layout for our Framework laptops, but until then this will have to do.

I asked a friend of mine who already has a Framework laptop if it was possible to start the machine without the keyboard attached. He told me it was by disabling the checks in the bios.

So I bought the FW16 and designed a keyboard with ergogen and kicad and made sure it would fit. The made a tight fit case in Fusion with a 5% tilt and voila.

Ever since switching to ergo / ortho I couldn’t use a laptop with a standard keyboard anymore - so this was the only choice for me.

Pretty happy about the outcome and how it feels!
