We’ve designed our input devices to be as serviceable and upgradeable as the rest of the Framework Laptop. Those of us who are fans of clicky clacky keys will keep using external mechanical keyboards at our desks, but our co-workers, family members, and innocent bystanders in coffee shops will appreciate the quietness built into the Framework Laptop. We’ve worked with Lite-On, our manufacturing partner for the keyboard, to also reduce the noise and resonance of key presses. While most compact notebooks have shrunk to between 0.8mm and 1.2mm key travel, we’ve chosen a better balance of 1.5mm to deliver excellent feel while keeping the system thin and light. Longer travel delivers better tactile feel, but takes up more physical space. This has been through reducing key travel, which is the distance a key moves when pressed. In the pursuit of thinness over the last few years, the notebook industry has sacrificed keyboard quality. Continuing on our Framework Laptop Deep Dive series, today we’re sharing how we built a great feeling backlit keyboard that delivers on our mission of repairability and customization.
