Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboards?
« on: Thu, 25 November 2010, 06:16:53 »
Any idea what mechanical keyboards which support bluetooth. And if there are any modifications to change a mechanical keyboards to support bluetooth.

Main reason for this is to support my ipad and laptop which i want to use from  a distance.

The only one keyboard that supports bluetooth is the filco majestouch but they're hard to get a hold of in the UK, ideally a keyboard based around Cherry ML switches with a similar layout to the HHKB Pro 2.

If I had the space, I might consider buying this:

And do my own Bluetooth controller mod on it.  That way I think I could safely say I had the world's biggest Bluetooth mechanical keyboard around for use on a portable device.  Only problem would be the batteries needed to power up the keyboard would be a pain to carry around.

Yup, this one:



If you're lucky, you can fly over to Fukuoka, Japan to go pick up the only one I've ever laid eyes on. That is, if it's still there.

I take requests for making keyboard converters (i.e. *old keyboard* to USB).

I thought they were still producing them *sigh* anyway what the hell is happening with the wireless USB standard anyway, just seems like so many standards are falling by the wayside.

XArmor may be doing a 2.4GHz wireless keyboard.

But you didn't hear it from me.

Didn't they stop producing the bluetooth filco because it didn't conform to standards or something?

Bluetooth works great.  I just added a PS3 to Harmony Remote adapter from Logitech.  Flawless operation but the stupid PS3 only recognizes one bluetooth remote at a time, causing Family Strife.


Do they not use the Harmony stubbornly, or are you like Smeagol with the Harmony?

Can't resist.

Give us that, it's my birthday, and I wants it.
