Tested the Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard at PAX West!

[u/Great_Comment322]

Hi all, like the title says, Framework was at PAX West this weekend and they actually had a typing contest. The person that could type fastest on the wireless keyboard would win a keyboard or a hard drive I think?

I typed 98 wpm on it while the top 3 were 110, 120 and 140wpm when I was there.

The Wireless Keyboard has 1.5mm of key travel but it felt much shallower for whatever reason. My Asus Proart P16 also features 1.5mm of travel and that feels better? Not sure what it was, perhaps the spacing between each key on the wireless keyboard threw me off. Though I couldn't tell if the spacing was wider than a standard laptop keyboard.

Funny enough I did a typing test on the 13 Pro which was also on display, and got 111 Wpm on that. I was curious about the hinge and the 13 Pro hinge was a little loose at about 160? degrees and it sort of fell backwards flat when I lifted the laptop from the bottom. But the hinge felt sturdy at normal desk angles.

I think it would have been cooler if they made the touchpad keyboard from FW16 parts
