I had an idea I thought I would share. When I’m gaming on the go, one hack I’ve used in the past is mounting a mouse pad to the right half of the laptop chassis, creating a small but sufficient area where I can use a gaming mouse to play games on a couch in comfort.
Here’s an old and only photo I have. That mousepad would fold over the keyboard when it was in use. Somehow, pressing keys under it just wasn’t an issue.
I think this could be done even better on the Framework by replacing the spacers on a left-aligned device with a mousepad material, granted it may be skinnier. Alternatively, there could be a gaming focused set of input modules where half the device is a mouse pad, the other half is a gaming keyboard, and no/reduced trackpad.
Just because some people here may find it interesting, this is what the back of the device looked like. Sager/Clevo was the closest I could get to a Framework back in 2013.
