Bluetooth Mechanical
« on: Mon, 10 December 2012, 18:13:44 »
I'm new here, and to mechanical keyboards in general, but I've searched Google and the forum, and it appears that there is not a single tenkeyless/75%/60% bluetooth mechanical keyboard to be had anywhere.

Unless someone has found one in the far reaches of the internet, I was wondering if any of you know what I would have to do to modify my own, for instance a KBT Pure to connect via bluetoooth.

I'm assuming I'd need some type of micro controller with with a bluetooth module, or perhaps cannibalize a regular bluetooth rubber dome board.

Thoughts?

And I recognise that name - been a while since I played the game though.

"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

There are wireless mechanical keyboards, they're just somewhat rare...

The PLUM 96 is one of them and it's quite cheap:

And then there's the NEO KB-87 II:

I wasn't aware of these, but I'm referring specifically to bluetooth.
