Do anyone else's wrist hairs get caught in the little gap between the frame and the trackpad/spacers?

Yup. But I use it mostly with an external keyboard so it's a small issue for me.

That sounds unpleasant. I plan to use mine on my lap a lot so I hope this isn’t an issue for me. Just got the email about my final payment too

Out of curiosity, what batch are you in and roughly how long was your wait from preorder to now?

[–] petey@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

Batch 12. Ordered September 24th and got the payment email on April 23rd

Yes! I haven't thought of a solution yet, not sure also if it would be better if the gap was smaller or bigger.

For Framework I would suggest to just create a trackpad with the full width plate, possibly with a few different alignments. It would be a loss for modularity, I do understand that.

Easiest solution would be to just shave the hair, I guess? :D

I've thought about doing that several times now.

A single piece wouldn't help, since I also get caught in the trackpad piece, not just the spacers.

Oh, you mean the laptop frame and trackpad? Anyway, I've made a diagram.

  1. This is what you mean? Never happened to me.
  2. Or is this it? Hard to believe, never happened.
  3. This the bane of my hair, multiple times have I been stuck here.
  4. This probably as well, not so sure.
  5. My hand usually does not linger there, so no complaints.
