Clicky and wireless?
« on: Fri, 23 November 2007, 14:03:17 »
Hello all, I have the Scorpius M10 and enjoy it, but I've been wondering if there is a similarly clicky keyboard that is wireless?

The only one I've seen is the elusive Filco Majestouch FKBT104M/EB.  Are there any alternatives, preferably available in the US?

Welcome to the boards!

I've not come across a wireless clicky keyboard in search. I think they would simply draw too much power, which is why they are so rare.

That video is pretty increadable. I'd like to try one of those Filco Majestouch if for nothing else than the sound it makes.

I like the Kinesis video (even though it's supposedly a crappy membrane):

I am a professional writer, and I write on the computer (not paper), so I only type about 60 to 70 WPM and that is as fast as I have to go. I understand people can type that fast, I just can't fathom myself doing it. I don't think I need any more links to HHKB vids, I have seen most of them and I already bought one.

I am not too impressed with the di*Hell*no-vo keyboard or wireless keyboards for that matter. For what they charge, you could buy any number of mechanical keyboards either new or used with plenty of life left in them.

That Majestouch whatever looks better everytime I see it though ...

So find a place to buy the Majestouch and spill it!

Does anyone find it strange or worrisome that in those videos of the Majestouch, some of the taps on the keyboard appear to repeat and produce TWO characters on the screen?  What's going on there?

I think he was using the Majestouch with the black Cherry switches, which are linear.  Since the only feel is a spring, by tapping a finger on one of the keys and leaving the finger there, the key will bounce, like letting a ball bounce up and down, hence the repetition of keys.  It's hard for me to explain.
