Framework Laptop 16 pre-orders are now open
Congrats to the framework team. This looks really awesome. I am looking to get one for sure. In particular I was extremely excited by the fact that Jack Humbert[1] is prototyping an ortholinear keyboard module[2]. I have 3 plancks and 1 prionic. Love me some Humbert keyboards, and it's an absolute dream to have an ortholinear keyboard on a laptop.

Ever wondered what a BRONZE plate sounds like? No? Well I'll show you anyway
Custom machined! I took the case 3D model from the official planck GitHub and gave it to RapidDirect for machining.

Preonic Rev 3 Schematics
I asked the same question in https://github.com/olkb/olkb_parts/issues/10, figured I'd post here as well.

Thumb Safety Thursday
There are many affordable off the shelf options for the popular layouts and switches including razor keyboards. I'm weird so I have a planck with blank keycaps in addition to other things.

olkb planck is unresponsive
Just for clarification is it bought through https://olkb.com/ or is it from drop.com ? the drop.com one is known to have usb port issues , especially the rev6.x ones.

Planck + Bakeneko = Planckeneko???
My first mechanical keyboard was a 40% ortholinear, and I found the Planck fairly early on during my mk adventure. As much as I loved it though, I was disappointed that all the larger (and staggered) keyboards got to live in these really nice cases with fancy mounting styles that helped with the acoustics and feel. The default cases for the Planck keyboard, in contrast ... left a lot to be desired. I wanted those good sounds and feels, while still living among the efficiencies and comforts of a 40s ortholinear. So I made a new case for the Planck that's inspired by the Bakeneko60.

3D printed Planck EOTW case
I also realized that there is no such thing as EOTW pcb after posting this! The pcb I have is just the regular rev6.1. The problem is that the 3Dprinted case I got was made for some previous rev. Probably using this file: https://github.com/olkb/olkb_parts/blob/master/planck/lo-pro-bottom.stl

Dygma OLKB just announced with some interesting features all around
The oldest known use of the word was on TypeMatrix' web site, at least as far back as 2003 (as far back as the WaybackMachine goes...) but the company had been founded in 1997. Jack Humbert of OLKB ("OrthoLinear KeyBoards") has said that he got the term from there (ca 2014). He is known for popularising the term, but there have been several one-off ortholinear keyboards made by enthusiasts for themselves — and described as "ortholinear" — that I have been able to find from 2008 onwards.

[US-MO][H]Ortholinear Sale! Plancks/preonics (kits, cases, pcbs, plates), keycaps (SA, XDA, OEM) [W] PayPal, SA Godspeed 40s kit
The same setup (case, pcb, plate) is $130 (not including shipping) from olkb.com, but the PCB is out of stock there as well. I took off $10 for the broken screw-in stabilizer mounting hole, plus my price includes shipping, so I feel like this is a fair deal. Feel free to pass if you think it's too high.
