Title: Wireless tenkeyless mechanical keyboard
Post by: ChoJo on Tue, 12 June 2018, 12:41:23

Hi eveyrone,
I'm on the market for a tenkeyless wireless keyboard.

I currently own a Realforce keyboard, but I moved to another place and want less cable on my desk.

Any recommandation?

The choices are rather limited. I know you're looking for a TKL but I'll start off with saying I first started off with adding a Hasu BT controller to a Type-S and a HHKB JP. I've since moved to having 2 HHKB BT (factory Bluetooth models).


The Plum NIZ models below are Bluetooth 4.0 and reasonable price, neither are TKL though. Perhaps the 75% (Plum 84) would work well for you. I know Plum has a TKL model in both the Topre clone and Gateron switches, however, as far as I'm aware no Bluetooth version of this as of yet. I might pickup one of the Plum 84's at some point in the future, I do wish they'd stop using wonky spacebar sizes though.

There's also a few other options but I don't have much (or any) experience with them:

Anyway, best of luck and I hope this helps!

Outside of the HHKB BT? Clearly that already exists...
