Piano Keyboard Input Module

The Piano Keyboard Input Module is a custom input module for the Framework Laptop 16 created by community member Pitstoptech. It features velocity-sensitive keys that function as a MIDI controller, turning the input deck into a musical instrument¹².

Design

The module replaces one of the hot-swappable input module slots on the Framework 16 with a mini piano keyboard. Each key is velocity-sensitive, allowing expressive musical performance directly from the laptop. The module presents itself as a MIDI device over USB¹².
