From the project
first ergonomic keyboard with Trackpoint
The purposes of this project. - Install it in ThinkPad
Project repository: https://github.com/saoto28/pineapple60c.git
Row-Staggered Ergonomic (Alice) keyboard with Kailh PG1316 for installing ThinkPad X13 Gen2
For this modification, I chose the target PC for the following reasons: - It has a Trackpoint - The keyboard can be easily replaced (the latest ThinkPads are getting difficult) - The Trackpoint buttons should be on the case, not on the keyboard unit. Otherwise, I would need to attach the buttons to the keyboard I was making.
