It’s pretty sweet and opens up all kinds of new possibilities.
The CB:87 is an upcoming TKL that has bluetooth, pretty neat looking.
The Percent studio Skog Reboot offers bluetooth and is gonna go into GB soon
The tide might be changing …
- Injection molded polycarbonate case
- Gasket mount
- Split spacebar support
- Silicone dampening pad between the plate & the PCB
- Silicone dampening pad under the PCB
- Bluetooth PCB (soldered) w/ proprietary software OR
- Wired PCB w/ QMK, VIA and Hot Swap
- PCB mount stabilizers
- Multiple additional badge designs, including fully custom designs provided by you!
The silicone dampener looks a little familiar
Interesting, I wonder how dense that silicone is going to be, in-between the plate and PCB…
Bluetooth (especially multi-device) is one of the main reasons I use my HHKB Hybrid and Niz much more than my custom mechanical boards.
I use my iPad Pro often and flipping between my Laptop, iPad Pro, and Phone saves so much time and space for me every day. Even my gaming board, I choose to use a Kemove with Bluetooth so that I can use it wired for gaming and still swap to my iPad and Phone via Bluetooth.
We’re seeing more customs from Asia with solid multi-device Bluetooth (Ex. CyberBoard, IKKI68, Percent Studio, and more). Based on videos, it looks like they’ve gotten around the problem of Aluminum casing interfering with Bluetooth too heavily. I hope the trend continues and makes its way to other designers and manufacturers (Rama plz) in the near future.
I think the reasoning behind it is the scale we work at and as someone mentioned above was the legality’s. Liek installing modules in a GB with 250 units and having to also worry about the battery’s, quite tough thought I’d love to see maybe the more avaliable boards such as the Tofu with a bluetooth pcb!
