Modular keyboard and QMK! It's a niche within a niche but would absolutely love an ortholinear option to the keyboard e.g. https://deskthority.net/wiki/Planck

Though would like this on a smaller laptop, 14-ish inches seem to be the sweet spot.



Jack Humbert (behind both QMK and OLKB) is actually working on an ortholinear keyboard module for the Framework Laptop 16! We had a mockup of it at the event.


Oh this is exciting news! Is there a link for any more details on this? Would love to see the mockup.


We were hoping there would be press photos of it, but I haven't seen any show up yet. We'll share photos on our social channels later.


This would be my perfect machine. Over the past few years I've gone deep down the keyboard rabbit hole. Given it's a device I spend a large proportion of my waking hours in contact with it's a good point to optimise (or at least experiment with) to be honest.

I currently use an iPad and Atreus, but having this in clamshell form would be pure utopia.


QMK support on a laptop's internal keyboard would be fantastic! I've gotten very used to my corne, and switching to using my laptop's keyboard on the rare occasions when I need to is a bit disorienting.


Similarly, I’d like to see an HHKB layout option. It’s the layout I use most on desktop boards and it’s always been a bummer I can’t have it on laptops.
