Framework has just announced an ortholinear keyboard for their Framework 16 laptop. It looks like it would be easy to develop any layout with it, as each key is a separate module.

Here is the timecode: https://youtube.com/watch?v=dnCGwii7FqY&t=630

      When the keyboard becomes both columnar/ortholinear (AKA: keys are in up/down straight lines) and when it also becomes staggered (AKA: each column is ,moved up or down slightly so it matches the length of your fingers), then I am buying a framework so hard.

        They’re releasing individual switches, so only a matter of time before someone makes one. It’ll have to be one row shorter though for the layout to fit the space.
