FAQs

  • All Framework Laptop 16 keyboards are backlit and have 1.5mm key travel. They're designed for flexibility and performance, supporting NKRO and leveraging open source QMK firmware on a Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller. The keycaps are made from 30% post-consumer recycled plastics and use a water-based paint process to minimize environmental impact.
  • Yes, you can use hotkeys or QMK-compatible utilities to cycle through lighting effects or create custom effects.
  • Both 1st Gen and 2nd Gen Keyboards have the same hardware. The 2nd Gen Keyboard features new artwork with the Framework logo or a Copilot+ key (English only) and updated firmware. In the future, 1st Gen Keyboard users will be able to update their firmware (which includes a fix to prevent the system from waking while carried in a bag) for compatibility and to achieve the same functionality.

FAQs

  • 1st Gen was slightly faster than 2nd Gen, but we switched due to the original flash chip being discontinued. Now that 2nd Gen's flash parts are also nearing end of life, our supplier has secured more of the original 1st Gen chips, allowing us to resume its production.
  • Framework Expansion Cards allow you to customize the ports and functionality of the Framework Laptop 16. Unlike other notebooks that require adapters and dongles to get to the ports you need, you can select the ones you want at order time and change them whenever you’d like. The Framework Laptop 16 supports six simultaneous Expansion Cards, with three on each side. You can select up to six USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, MicroSD, Ethernet, Audio, 1TB storage, or 250GB storage cards to fit your needs.
  • The Framework Laptop 16 charges over USB-C from the back four Expansion Card bays and from the USB-C slot on the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070 Graphics Module. We suggest configuring with at least one USB-C Expansion Card unless you have this graphics module, since it is difficult to directly plug into the recessed USB-C receptacle that is inside the bay.
  • Yes, if you plan to use wired 3.5mm headphones, you will need an Audio Expansion Card. You can also use Bluetooth headphones or USB headphones without an Audio Expansion Card.
  • You can, but we don't recommend it. There are six Expansion Card slots on the Framework Laptop 16, so we suggest you have one for each.

We recommend ordering at least six Expansion Cards.

If you are configuring your laptop with an AMD Graphics Module or Expansion Bay Shell, be sure to include at least one USB-C Expansion Card for charging. The NVIDIA® Graphics Module has a built-in USB-C charging port on the rear, so no additional USB-C Expansion Card is required.

If you need an audio/headphone jack, make sure to select an Audio Expansion Card, as the Framework Laptop 16 does not include a built-in audio jack.
