Being one of the lenovo-turned-framework users and seeing that there is [some desire](http://community.frame.work/t/any-chance-of-trackpoint/1026/12) for a framework with a trackpoint on these forums, i figured id share this idea in hopes that someone can maybe bring it to life. With all the development and ideas surrounding “what to do with a standalone framework mainboard” and my old lenovo T580 (which has an effectively dead motherboard) laying around while i decide how best to reuse/recycle/ewaste it (after stealing all the parts for my framework) I had a thought. Is it possible to adapt the [keyboard pinout information for the framework](http://community.frame.work/t/reusing-keyboard-after-replacement/9501/9) and the pinout for the lenovo keyboards/trackpads/touchpoints into something that will plug into a framework? My thinking is that, this way, someone could theoretically 3d print a custom case/enclosure to serve as a bottom case to hold the framework mainboard while also accepting a lenovo keyboard and/or top case. A little searching around has revealed a [2014 hackaday project](https://hackaday.com/2014/04/30/using-a-thinkpad-keyboard-over-usb/) that seems to have trodden a similar path before and may also provide insight into lenovo’s keyboard connectors. Hope this is an interesting/useful starting point for someone. Unfortunately i’m a software person with too many side projects as is so I don’t think i can be much help with actually making this happen --- _[View the full topic](https://community.frame.work/t/feature-request-megathread-mainboard/53978)._
