Title: 75% PCB with bluetooth?
Post by: arcadeperfect on Mon, 24 May 2021, 09:44:25

And, preferably, hot swappable.

Does such a thing exist? All I can find is the Keychron K2 hot swap (sold out and in any case I'd prefer a custom) and the GK84 (long gone). What I really want is a bluetooth PCB in the YMDK acrylic case:

But it doesn't seem like that's possible at all.

Any help appreciated!

Are you sold on 75%? There are a ton of TKL kits with bluetooth radios available on aliexpress.

You could use an external converter - http://handheldsci.com/kb/

I've also seen a few USB > Bluetooth conversion tutorials if you can find the right board and you're up to the task. One's linked below

Ha I am kind of obsessed with 75% yeah. Don't ask me to explain it. Thanks for the suggestions though!
