Wireless 75% keyboard?

[online]

Hi everyone,

Just got my very first mechanical keyboard - Filco tkl convertible. Really love it. Ordered set of DSA keycaps for it. Can't wait!

I like the clean look without empty space between keys on 60%, but I need the function and arrow keys. It seems like 75% is the one I'm looking for.

However, after hours of searching, there are no bluetooth/2.4g wireless 75% in the market.

Can anyone suggest a wireless 75% if it's exist.

Wireless keyboards and 75% keyboards are uncommon since they're personal preference over what the general consumer wants. Most mechanical keyboard users are using TKL or 100% boards and go corded with USB.
Your best bet is custom building your own 75% keyboard and hooking up a wireless module to the Teensy controller.
That's the best and only solution for you.

Noppoo sold a wireless Choc Mini at one time, and it was even on Massdrop I believe: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/noppoo-choc-wireless

If I remember, though, the reviews were quite mixed. It might be worth posting in the Classifieds to see if someone happens to have one lying around.

Otherwise, what zpcomstock17 said.

Thanks for reply.
I thought the Choc Mini is the perfect choice, until I found out the spacebar is not a standard one...
I guess I have to go custom build route.

The Plum Nano 75 would be what you're looking for. Unfortunately you can only get it from Amazon Germany at the moment, and they won't ship to the U.S. Moreover, it is absurdly priced at over €200.

Well, there's the Rapoo KX but it's somewhat flawed (horrible irreplacable keycaps, F-row is realized through cheap touchpad-type keys, most people don't like the unusual layout). Has yellow Kailh switches which makes for an interesting change, though...

Minila Air?

Ugh. That thing is disease-ridden with all kinds of non-standard layout keys. Stay away from that thing if you want any hope of putting a keycaps set of your own choosing on it someday.

I do like the layout, though.

thanks for the suggestion guys. I ordered the plum 85 and high profile keycap set on massdrop recently. looking forward to have it!!

i'm still looking out for another one with dedicated arrow keys tho.

So.. I know this is a bit late but there is a BT keyboard that might be what you want:

I've been using them since 2010. For me, I like the layout, lack of numberpad, and that's it's an ergo style with the curvature to it. Downsides are that they require alkaline batteries as if you use rechargeable it doesn't seem to behave properly as the voltage begins to drop and that they do not seem to last very long, like 12-18 months before they have to be replaced as the keys will just stop responding. Also, what's kind of annoying is that the Fn keys are on the option and not on the F1-F12 it seems and I can't seem to swap that role, wish I could though.

Also, the price. It seems to be at $50 now but if you hunt around or wait you can find them for $20-$30 or so. When that happens I buy two of them.

I am actively looking for a replacement. I do need dedicated arrow and would like function keys as my recent endeavor with a 60% did work as well as I had hoped.

It isn't that difficult. Heck, I don't even own a Minila and I have three sets that would work on it. You may not be able to get a GMK set, but there are DSA/SA sets that will work and several less expensive PBT sets from Taobao/Aliexpress that foot the bill (even in Cherry profile). Even XDA Godspeed currently on MD supports it.
