Keyboard size

An important issue for smaller laptops is typical full size keyboard and normal spacing - For the touch typist this is a key issue (my wife). Also I love the form factor for travel — At home external display & keyboard sets it up with my 32" monitor.

Looks fairly standard to me, although I’m not a fan of the cramped arrow keys.

Looks very similar to the framework 13 keyboard which does make a lot of sense.

It’s a full-size keyboard. The regular keys (letters, numbers) are the same dimensions and use the same mechanical inner structure as Framework Laptop 13.

If it is the same inner keyboard as Framework 13, would it be possible to install a backlit keyboard that’s compatible with 13 on the 12?

The lack of a backlit keyboard is the only thing that’s giving me pause on ordering a 12.

No, the keyboard module is dimensionally different and mounted differently. Just the letter/number keys are the same.
