Hi everyone,
First time poster here and I feel like I'm taking a chance starting with a bluetooth question...but I need something for a mobile office.
Some background -I am a newbie when it comes to high-end keyboards - I have been using a Code keyboard with Cherry MX Green switches for the last 9 months or so. It's easily my favourite keyboard to work on.
As I'm working away from my office more and more, I would really like a keyboard that comes close to working on the Code keyboard - at present I'm using the current Apple bluetooth.
When weight is important, I'll likely continue to use the Apple keyboard, but - and I know I'm probably in a very small group which is why this keyboard may not exist - I would like a second mobile keyboard (that connects to devices that don't have USB) that emulates the Code.
In addition to the Cherry MX Green keys, I also like the heavy weight of the Code. I know that its contrary to mobile thinking, but the keyboard is the one area I don't mind weight (though I still want to minimize the size and therefore don't want a full sized keyboard). While I'm dreaming, this keyboard would also have two/three low-energy bluetooth receivers.
I am somewhat mechanical and willing to tinker if necessary - if such a keyboard doesn't exist, but there is a hackable starting point you'd recommend, I'd love to hear about it.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There are a few bluetooth mech keyboards out there, but they are not very common. I think most will be lighter switches than the greens you like.
I found a list from reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/wiki/wireless-mechanical_keyboards (http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/wiki/wireless-mechanical_keyboards)
