Note that both the keyboard and the touchpad are unique to the Framework Laptop 16. We reused the same keyswitch and keycap structure on the keyboard because the feedback we've gotten on those on Framework Laptop 13 have been almost universally positive. In Framework Laptop 16, we integrated them into a new module structure to enable Input Module swappability.

For the touchpad, similarly, we used the same controller chip because we've seen it work well on Framework Laptop 13, but the touchpad surface dimensions and overall structure are unique to Framework Laptop 16.

I have not used the 16 yet as I decided to hold off after seeing the QC issues but most of the feedback I've seen and from what I can tell looking at the laptop is the trackpad is too small and the keyboard is too cramped. My 13 inch Thinkpad appears to have a more spaced out keyboard than the Framework 16.

The key spacing is the standard 19mm key stride that we use on Framework Laptop 13 and which most (all?) 13"+ notebooks use.

I might not be explaining what I mean clearly. I'm talking about the Framework 16. The keyboard on the Framework 16 seems more cramped than my 13" laptop.
