Bluetooth mechanical keyboard

YoungMichael88:
I'm happy to see there is a Bluetooth board in the works but for me the reason I would want one would be for portability etc. to me a full size board is quite big and something that you would want to have on a desk anyway. At that point it may as well be wired right?  Oh well its a step in the right direction. As they say beggars can't be choosers.

moonprismpwr:
i'd love this as well because i really hate the clutter of cables around my current set up. i love my choc mini though so unless it could be modded id be sad to have to replace it with another board

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

No, since you are using a controller for another board, say Logitech 220 or something, your keyboard will use that firmware, and appear as a Logitech in the operative system.

Dont be fooled to think this is an easy mod. I am on my third year of studying Master in Computer Engineering and I think this mod is hard :p  I originally wanted some plug and play battery driven dongle for the USB socket :/


The KBtalking Pro is not "in the works", it is released.
I have heard rumors that Kbtalking are working on a tkless bluetooth board atm.

Input Nirvana:
I figured it's no easy mod, since many talented people have expressed an interest, and nothing has happened in over 3 years I've been on GH.

1-Webwit in Deskthority has a bluetooth dongle setup with a small car battery under his chair
2-A guy here on GH wired a mini-touch 'into' another physical board...so it shows up with the features of the mini-touch but with the other keyboard as the physical interface.
3-Guy on Keyboardmods.com was wiring up his own collection of parts...dunno whatever happened with him.

That's is. Have not seen anything else.

YoungMichael88:
Thanks for the "input" Nirvana (couldn't resist). At least some people are getting creative with it!  It's beyond my capabilities. I'm not too tech savvy.
