The Framework Laptop

I was dreaming about such a laptop only a few days ago (admittedly with an IBM/Lenovo-like keyboard). Do you offer ANSI keyboards for European countries? It would be great if a nordic keyboard layout was an option and easily swapable.

We have both ANSI and ISO layouts, and we've designed the keyboard to be end-user replaceable. We'll be adding more keyboard languages as we expand into more countries. The clear keyboard shown in our product photos is actually real too! We'll be offering clear and blank for the people who want that.

Is the ISO layout an actual ISO, i.e. with an extra key between the left Shift and Z?

By the way, I’d love to have a Trackpoint or an equivalent. Or a trackball.

Yep the ISO layout has the \| key next to Z!

Goodness I hope that key is there, I've had to jump through all sorts of hoops to type comfortably on keyboards that are missing this key.

Great! The clear keyboard also sounds interesting as I could hack together my own Norwegian Colemak layout.

* I meant ISO, not ANSI in my parent comment :)
