Extra screen in bottom: top-half second screen & bottom-half keyboard +touchpad ?!

[Stefan_Kruger]

i currently use a Asus ZenBook DUO -
the main screen is a 4k oled (very nice if dark surrounding - not usable at sunlight)
and in the bottom half it has a 4k-wide and 1/2 height LCD -
and the keyboard is in the bottom half.

i like this layout and the second screen very much!

after reading Possible Input Module combinations on Framework Laptop 16
i think that this is not possible in default mode.
but hey - iam open for hacking

one thin- i would need a medium wide module going next to the keyboard for the mousepad..

other variant would be to do something similar requested here:

Replacing original keyboard with screen

The socket on the motherboard is a standard 40-pin eDP to my knowledge, so in lieu of the touchpad cable, you’d have the display’s cable connecting to the new ‘display cover’. I think they’re talking about removing the top screen, and instead having one on the bottom chassis.

but in this case i would like to add full-size a second screen…
(and then have a external keyboard & touchpad)

has anybody did something in this way and is using it on a daily basis?

found similar up to identical old (mostly 2023) questions:

• Making the prototype bottom screen
• Dual screen laptop config
• [IDEA] Second screen instead of keyboard + trackpad for new Framework 16!
• Possible to have a second touch screen instead of keyboard?

Welcome to the forum.

Somewhere on the forum, there are posts of a screen made to go next to the touchpad. It was awhile ago, but I think it was an e-ink screen, connected to one of the input module’s spots, so using USB 2.0. That was the most advanced screen I recall seeing. Which is pretty far off from what it sounds like you’d want.
