README
README.mdFramework 16 Keyboard v1

Here's an ortholinear split keyboard that fits in your Framework 16 instead of the default keyboard.
It's using Kaihl Choc switches and the case has an angle of 5 degrees so it will not allow you to close the laptop while using it.
ZMK and QMK
There some settings for zmk and qmk to get you started with the correct pin layout. The ZMK config is based on Urob's config
Any Pro Micro compatible controller should work. The nice!nano v2 is used in the image, and I have also connected an RP2040 without any problems.
3D Print Files
- Left and Right are for the laptop. They should have a tight fit without having to squeeze them in between the other components.
- Bottom is for your desk so you can choose to put the pcb on your desk as well. It's possible to fit this on the build plate of a standard Prusa mk3s if you put it diagonally.
- Top is for travel protection. It fits on top of the Bottom case with the keyboard inside.

Questions
How big is the Framework16v1 PCB?
It measures 270 × 104.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Framework16v1 use?
84 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Framework16v1 KiCad files?
From the sommerper/framework16-keyboard-v1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/framework16v1/framework16v1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Framework16v1 design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
