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.
A custom columnar-staggered (semi-ortholinear) keyboard replacement for the Framework Laptop, created by community member dosssman.
The Framework 16 Keyboard v1 (subtitled "Poor Man's Ortho") is an ortholinear split keyboard designed to fit inside the Framework Laptop 16 in place of the stock keyboard module. Created by Per Sommer (GitHub: sommerper), it uses 40 Kailh Choc low-profile switches in a column-staggered layout and connects via USB or Bluetooth using an nRF52840 microcontroller — rather than interfacing with the Framework 16's Input Module connector.
Mainboard Terminal is a retro-futuristic all-in-one computer built around a Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard, featuring a distinctive 5-inch round LCD display. Created by hardware designer Penk Chen — a self-described digital nomad from Taiwan based in Tokyo, known for the CutiePi tablet, Penkesu Computer, and Rasti Computer — the project was inspired by early computer terminals that used circular cathode-ray tube oscilloscope displays.
Rasti Computer is a retro-futuristic clamshell laptop inspired by the iconic 1982 GRiD Compass — widely considered the first clamshell-style laptop, famously used by NASA's Space Shuttle program. Created by hardware designer Penk Chen (penk), it repurposes a Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard, battery, WiFi module, and antenna inside a fully 3D-printed enclosure with a custom mechanical keyboard.
