Title: wireless hot swappable keyboard
Post by: killermax on Wed, 06 February 2019, 02:48:00
Hi,

I've been using a ducky zero Blue SW for year. Ive been moving things around my desk very often so i felt like i need a wireless keyboard.

Are there any hot swappable wireless keyboard out there. Ive been searching it for a couple of weeks not and cant seem to find one.

If i cant, then can i buy any mechanical wireless kbd and swap out the original switches for what i want via soldering?

Thanks!

Are there anything bigger than a 60% layout that is wireless? I dont really mind the soldering. I just need it to be wireless.

If you are looking for DIY kit >60% and bluetooth I think that combination does not exist. However there are pre-built wireless keyboards. Such as

If you want your own switches then getting one if these and desoldering is a way to go.

GK84 seems to meet your requirements - it is hot-swappable, wireless and more than 60%. https://kprepublic.com/products/gk84-mechanical-keyboard-75-dye-sub-keycap-wooden-custom-light-rgb-ink-paintingsakura-lotus-bluetooth-4-0-usb-dual-mode

And you surely can buy a bluetooth keyboard and solder the switches you want. For example, Ganss 87D keyboard.
