    Here’s hoping this helps with getting a thinkpad keyboard into one of these things, I love my t420 to bits but sooner or later I’d like something a bit more efficient

      I went with a Thinkpad for my most recent upgrade but I really, really wanted a Framework. If there was a straightforward trackpoint keyboard kit available for the Framework I’d be all in next round. There’s no love lost between Lenovo and I at this point.

      While losing money from people who didn’t buy frames manufactured by them, yes. That’s the point of open source, to let the community have ownership of the design and to make your business model less reliant on intellectual property.
