Bluetooth mechanical keyboard

(1/3) > >>

YoungMichael88:
Does anyone know if its at all possible to convert something like a Poker into a Bluetooth Poker?  I would love to one day be able to use a small mechanical keyboard on my couch when my MacBook is connected to my TV. It's completely unnecessary but I think it would be cool.  Any thoughts?

I recently looked into exactly this. It was a bit tricky to find information about.

Of course, in order to aquire such knowledge of Keyboard Science I had to turn to a real Keyboard Scientist.

basically you buy a bluetooth keyboard, slaughter it for bluetooth board, reverse engineer your keyboard matrix, convert it for the bluetooth keyboard, wire it up, and tada!

You lose all the Fn-layer functionality though!

Will take a year to load the pictures. Have patience.

Thanks for the information! Worth looking into. One wonders if KBT or any other companies will offer a Bluetooth option in the future.

Obviously quite a few of us have been yapping about this for a few years....I think this is the most info I've seen...other than one guy that used a Siig Mini Touch as a source.

Good work. I'd like to see this get followed up. My initial question is can we not lose the Fkey layer?
