  It's a laptop with a mechanical keyboard, so not quite as exciting as it sounds. I was hoping for some sort of mechanical analog computer.

    I also thought it was a laptop doing computations with the movements of pressing of keys.

    I love mechanical keyboards, but not enough to carry the weight of one in a laptop. The engineering is still very cool.

    I just want everyone to make arrow keys regular-sized and not Apple-sized.

    Could we change the title maybe?

  There's a couple threads on the Framework forums with ~100 ortholinear keyboard users asking for Framework to release an ortholinear keyboard. I'm sure they're all feeling very envious of this flurpes guy.

  Been using my mechanical laptop, an MNT Reform, for a while now, great experience.

  When I saw the usb hub I was shocked at how advanced it would be. I thought he'd just throw down a high speed at best simple thing. Not a board with frankly a lot of high speed serial and protocol conversion. I'm not surprised it didn't work but I don't know this person's background enough to fully know if that's the expected outcome.

  I was expecting something like Babbage's difference engine in portable format.
