Campus is a custom laptop built by community member Flurples (Reddit: flurpyflurples) that completely redesigns the Framework Laptop 13 chassis to house a gasket-mounted mechanical keyboard. Starting from a stock Framework 13, Flurples reverse-engineered the entire chassis, designed custom CNC-milled aluminium housing, and built a fully custom mechanical keyboard PCB from scratch — resulting in a machine that resembles a 1990s-era laptop with modern internals.
Framework 13 Vanilla Reconstruction is an open-source project to reconstruct every physical part of the Framework Laptop 13 as editable parametric CAD models, enabling community members to design custom chassis modifications, replacement parts, and novel form factors. Created by community member Captain-Pumpkinhead and hosted on GitHub, it is one of the most starred Framework community hardware projects with 57 stars.
HandyWork is an ergonomic keyboard project for the Framework 16 by Axel Voitier, designed as a custom input module with staggered columnar layouts. It proposes 8 different layouts fitting the A1 design space, from a minimalist 36-key (5×3) Miryoku-compatible layout up to a 50-key (6×4) layout for users who prefer fewer layers.
A modification by Martin Roth (MartinLRoth) to install a ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint into the Framework Laptop 16.
The Low-Profile Ethernet Expansion Card is an ongoing community effort to design a gigabit Ethernet expansion card that fits within the standard Framework expansion card height — roughly 6.8 mm — without protruding below the laptop. Started by ExplodingWaffle in November 2021, the project has had contributions from multiple community members across 87 posts spanning over four years, and remains an active area of development as of early 2026.
The Single Piece Touchpad Module is a 3D-printed replacement for the Framework Laptop 16's multi-piece touchpad row, eliminating the visible seams and gaps between the touchpad module and its surrounding spacers. Created by community member Joseph_Schroedl (RosePeach on Printables) in July 2024, it was the first community solution to address the widely discussed touchpad spacer gap problem.
