Title: Filco Minila Bluetooth Edition
Post by: Hypersphere on Sun, 08 September 2013, 11:03:13

For those who want wireless mini keyboards, Filco has introduced a Bluetooth version of their Minila keyboard. It still has the same controversial layout, but some people like it.

Perhaps this move on Filco's part will help stimulate mini keyboard development by other companies.

I would like to see a wired Realforce 60+% form factor with Topre switches and dye-sub PBT keycaps; they could also make a BT version for those who dislike cables.

Still won't get it.

Needs more of a standard format.

I agree. It is an interesting development, but not one that I care for. I prefer a standard layout with arrow keys added, as Leopold has done in their mini keyboard. I also prefer Topre switches, dye-sub PBT keycaps, and a cable.

Not  a fan of bluetooth, but I love my miniLA.

But, as you have said. Hopefully, this opens the gate for more mechanical Bluetooth keyboards.

I'm all about the Bluetooth but not this layout :(
