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.

Where can I get Fortitude60 prebuilt/full kit?
It looks like the keyboard is open source. There is a github link in the page you referenced. In particular have a look at https://github.com/Pekaso/fortitude60/blob/master/Documents/buildguide_en.md for part list and build instructions.

Open source keyboard manufacturing guide [US]
Is there a manufacturing guide for open source keyboards in the US? I was using the term "build" in my searches until sitting down to write this post, but am realizing now, it's not the build guide I need, the projects take care of that, it's how and where to manufacture the custom parts that I don't know the answer to. I include this explanation and use of "build" in hopes that someone making the same mistake will find the right answer.

My impressions on Miryoku (36 key layout system) for typing, coding, productivity and gaming
I think although, it might be hard for a complete newbie to start with, once you know to touch type reasonably well, it is really worth it to give this layout system a go. Personally, I am using a fortitude60, but you can try Miryoku with a wide range of keyboard. I think the benefits really shine when used with a ortho, 3key thumb cluster board such as the Corne.

Ultimate keymap/layout?
I have been looking around the ergo keyboard scene for a while and build myself the extremely satisfying fortitude60. I fell in love with it, tweaked a bit the default keymap and learned to touch type.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing olkb_parts and fortitude60 you can also consider the following projects:
qwerty-fr - Qwerty keyboard layout with French accents
miryoku - Miryoku is an ergonomic, minimal, orthogonal, and universal keyboard layout.
qwerty-lafayette - QWERTY keyboard layout for French-speaking users
nixconfig
bakeneko-60 - A simple 60% keyboard
miryoku_qmk - Miryoku is an ergonomic, minimal, orthogonal, and universal keyboard layout. Miryoku QMK is the Miryoku implementation for QMK.
qmk_firmware - Fork of QMK for the Framework Laptop 16
kbd-cases - A collection of 40% ortholinear keyboard cases I've designed and made.
