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?

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.
I may be late, but wanted to relay my 2 cents. The Corne is a great, tested, popular layout and you can’t go wrong with it. The 6 column would give the most utility, but I’d be perfectly happy with the 5 column. That being said, there have been some improvements since the initial design. I see that you have a pretty heavy splay on your mockups. The kyria keyboard splay was a big improvement over the original corne. As for the thumbs, I agree with others that they should be moved further toward the center. The best feeling corne-style layout that I have used personally was from Sadek over at fingerpunch.xyz. His single-body split style keyboard gives the perfect angle, splay, and thumb positioning in my opinion: faux fox keyboard (ffkb) v4 - fingerpunch
