HandyWork, an ergo keyboard for the Framework 16

Saw the picture in the NextGen event. This is fire! Thank you very much for your work! Hopefully there will be such an option for the Framework 13 (Pro) someday

Hi Axel, love your work on this, especially the 5x3 layout that would mirror my desktop Miryoku setup. I currently carry around a keyboardio aterus for mobile work but a laptop with ergo keyboard would be amazing! Is there any plans / appetite to do a group buy? If framework sponsored the work is their any chance of them doing a small run?

disposition of thumb keys are strange though, i don’t get it:

why the middle one is straight ?

Maybe I missed it. But what price is a OKM ?
The OKM concept is good, because if say the D key fails, you can just replace that one key and carry on. No need to purchase a new keyboard.

46 keys at $1 is $46 on top of the JLCPCB costs of about $150.
But 46 keys at $10 is $460, making for an expensive keyboard.

So, i am looking forward to how low FW manage to get the price.
