Truly wireless keyboard where every key is connected via bluetooth
- fredley 5y agoThis is an extremely cursed idea, I love it.
- codezero 5y agoNow pairing the A key.
- photojosh 5y agoNot Bluetooth, but tempting to give this idea a try using a sub-$1 microcontroller [0] implementing a software-defined radio with a PCB trace antenna which is powered from the kinetic energy when you actually hit the key.

- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoMaybe RFID so you can do power in the wireless, too
- Tajnymag 5y agoNFC, key is pressed, once the chip is read
- mst 5y agoNFT, each keypress records itself on the blockchain and you retrieve it from there.
- raihansaputra 5y agoNot bluetooth, but every key being wireless is great for ergonomic keyboards. You can tune the layout iteratively without soldering anything. I think there's enough kinetic energy for a short transmit each time the key is pressed, but currently the energy is now dispersed to bounce the key back up. A thick keyboard (like kinesis or dactyl) does have space for a CR1616 battery under each switch though.. That with an NFC/RFID chip for each key might actually enable a truly wireless keyboard.
