Greetings All,
I'm new here; i was wondering if anyone could suggest any good wireless mechanical keyboards?
I was looking into possibly getting a Varmilo VB87M, i watched a few reviews and it looked solid.
I'm looking for a TKL design because it will be the keyboard that ill be using for HTPC for gaming.
Currently using Logitech K830 and this thing is crap, i usually end up hooking up my K70 with an usb extension.
Thanks in advance guys.

There's the Royal Kludge bluetooth version, which has lots of cool features but knockoff topre switches, which apparently feel quite good despite the cheapness.
Filco also has the Manila, which is 60% wireless.
And last is the HHKB BT version, but it's very expensive and apparently has a few issues.
Other than that, the VB87M is quite a good option.

Good luck. Wireless + mechanical is still rare. There are a few threads about the Varmilo and their factory rep, Mila, is on here. It is possible to order through her, or if you trust your Chinese, the TaoBao website. Other than that the VB87M is very hard to find, or you need to wait for horrendous shipping time (like 1-2 mos on eBay). Massdrop just announced, but was only for the wired VA model and seemingly with stupid prices. You buy them for around $140 on eBay but Massdrop was $199 down to $179 now.
