Improving the Librem 14


An improvement to the Librem 14 that is simple and cheap is to extend the labeling of the hardware kill switches and LEDs to help identify the position of the side-mounted ports. I marked the location of my ports with a silver sharpie and it is much easier now to insert cables. Purism should start doing this.

Oh, hmm… interesting idea!
Just a dot or also a kind of symbol / icon which port it is?

@francois-techene, what do you think from design team perspective?

Cheers

I agree that the little symbols for each port would be fantastic.

Indentifying ports in the dark has also been a problem. Especially the “Power” button which I have to find by “feel”. Once the screen glows, it is a little better.

Phosphor ink? The kind that retains a little glow once you turn the light off?
