Title: Looking for a minimalistic, tiny wireless keyboard ...
Post by: el_murdoque on Tue, 05 October 2021, 04:27:37

...for using it with my laptop whenever I have to do more than write a few lines.
It would have to fit the following criteria:

-A layout that resembles ISO DE as closely as possible.
-Must be small and light
-Must connect via Bluetooth

I'd be happy with a Planck style 40% Ortholinear board since my daily drivers are Preonics -
but other than diY solutions that require advanced skills with a soldering iron I've not found anything.

Keychron keyboards looks great for you, they have both Mac and Windows keycaps, wireless, and you can find ISO layouts here https://www.keychron.com/collections/keychron-iso-keyboard-collection

one of these in a 40% layout would be dandy - because their 65% is wider than my laptop.

But that seems to be the smallest one can actually go with ISO layout and wireless.

I think I'm looking for a 30% or 40%.
I would prefer ortholinear, but can manage staggered.
Must be wireless, though.

Not a big fan of building it myself, but will do what I have to.
Ideas?
