So, I've been wanting to try a new project. Lately, I've been wanting to try and make a 60% Bluetooth board so that I could take it with me. I've got a couple of questions on that front as such.
First, is there an advantage to going the Teensy+bluetooth controller route that I'm not aware? I'm largely incompetent when it comes to coding and creating a matrix, so the Teensy+Bluetooth module is probably the more difficult for me even though I have a Teensy 2.0 already. If it's a better option, it is something I could try.
Second, has anyone tried the Nulaxy USB Bluetooth adaptor? (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T5YXNL0?colid=1A2GVP45YUABO&coliid=I2PH17KP42P1IG&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl) I've been looking for a teardown since it appears that it could just be aUSB2BT adaptor (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PI7MDK0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1A2GVP45YUABO&coliid=I2Q9GNBSVIIQR7) in a fancy package with batteries. If that's the case, it really doesn't make sense to buy the USB2BT when I could easily cannibalize the Nulaxy.
Lastly, are there any other options out there? I know about Hasu's controller for the HHKB, but I have a few Alps PCBs and plates that I want to play with.
And, not completely related, but cool, Bluetooth Model M I saw on Youtube. Maybe it belongs to someone in here.

I used a Handheld Scientific bluetooth adapter (http://handheldsci.com/kb) for my bluetooth atreus build, if you use one of those, I have some build notes on github (https://github.com/cy384/atreus_bluetooth). I paid about $35 for it, and it was easy to work with. It doesn't seem like there are any way easier/cheaper options.
