Hello
« on: Wed, 18 February 2015, 20:06:42 »
Hey guys I'm new here and I want to get into mechanical keyboards.
About me:
Solving Rubik's cubes, or twisty puzzles as the community likes to call them, is one of my hobbies. I play Gmod with my friends on the weekend. I like running for track and cross country. I got into yugioh cards for a bit but that faded. I might get back into it soon. I sing and play percussion.
Keyboard related:
My mom is getting me a corsair k70 rgb for my birthday and I also want to build a Bluetooth keyboard for taking notes on my iPad (I go to one of those ipad high schools). Is that a reasonable project? Do they make Bluetooth modules that maybe hook into the teensy controller? Will I have a hard time programming the keys for an apple device? I've soldered only a little and have barely any experience but understand the basics of electronics. Thank you for your help.

Welcome to Geekhack! :cool:

Happy Keyboarding!

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
