Someone's collecting suggestions in a form to offer third party keyboards for the 16:

Found the mechanical specs:

The USB connection is through pogo pins, no need to source some weird low profile connector that sells in minimum 1000s...

This was expected to be a short outage, but the storage server being rebooted didn't reboot. Won't be back until tomorrow US/Pacific at least.

No data loss expected, just additional outage.

Is it thin enough for the 16? 3.7mm max space from bottom of keyboard unit to the tops of the keycaps... I don't have a spare to measure, myself. (Though, if this computer keeps dying, I guess I might! 😢)

What I meant is that I care about the physical layout differences between the "we bought an existing chromebook keyboard layout" that frame.work has and the thinkpad layout. For example, the PgUp/PgDn next to the arrows I'm now thoroughly used to, and there aren't physical keys there on the frame.work keyboard that could be remapped in firmware.

Whereas until they made a lower-profile trackpoint I removed the useless red button.
