When searching for a laptop with a truly delightful keyboard, disappointment can be common. YouTuber Flurples took matters into their own hands, modifying their Framework 13 laptop to include a high-quality mechanical keyboard with rotary dials in a custom aluminum chassis.

The result is stunning. While its aesthetic caters to a 90’s chic vibe, the upgraded functionality features rotary encoder dials for volume control and screen brightness, cleverly integrated into the design.

“It’s the kind of device you would envision in an action movie from that era, often thrown between characters as they attempt to hack into a system.”
(Translation: It’s a nostalgic representation of past technology, bringing a sense of playful elegance.)

From a thicker-than-usual bottom deck enabling a compact 60% layout with tactile switches to personalized keycap colors, Flurples showcases dedication to detail that is quintessential to the mechanical keyboard community.

Though this intricate modification may render the laptop a challenge for portable sessions, it emphasizes the idea of customizing tech to fit personal styles and needs. The introduction of such aesthetics adds character, perfectly suited for enthusiasts and gamers alike.
