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.
Previewed April 21, 2026, the Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard is a compact wireless keyboard with integrated touchpad designed for living room use, computer setup, and sim rig mounting. It uses the same mechanical key structure and touchpad architecture as the Framework Laptop 12. The keyboard features a Nordic nRF54LM20A microcontroller with open source ZMK Firmware, supporting up to four Bluetooth Low Energy hosts, one USB-A dongle, and wired USB-C connectivity. Availability is planned for later in 2026.
