Solve : Looking for a specific keyboard? |
|
Answer» Hi everybody! He can take a normal keyboard and make it wireless...Wow, that video was dumb! However, I found this article about adding Bluetooth capability to an IBM Model M keyboard and since I own several of these classic keyboards, I think I might do this project. If the OP's wife likes mechanical keyboards (like the Model M) he could get a used Model M from Ebay and add Bluetooth. https://learn.adafruit.com/convert-your-model-m-keyboard-to-bluetooth-with-bluefruit-ez-key-hid/overview?gclid=Cj0KEQiAlsrFBRCAxcCB54XElLEBEiQA_ei0DLgGkhIVx9liknij4Yg82xJUqCzUk-X0Jx5EH94fLnwaAm0v8P8HAQThis below LINKED is one that I want to get. However, hoping the glow of keys wont be a distraction in rom that is dimly lit of only lit by monitor glow. I can see this keyboard useful for anyone who still needs to look at what keys they are pressing. Myself I just like the fact that it looks pretty with the customizable LED light colors. So it looks better than the PS2 type HP Compaq Black and Grey keyboard that I have been using for last 13 years. I liked the feel of the HP Compaq keyboards so much that I bought a case of 10 of them off of ebay for $50 which came out to $5 per brand new keyboard which was a good deal if wanting to stick with the same type of legacy somewhat modern type of 104-key keyboard design. I still have 7 of the 10 brand new in their original boxes. Its too bad they arent USB though. They appeared to come from a seller that bought a bunch of HP Business Class systems and was looking to unload brand new not needed keyboards and mice on ebay. So I have a lifetime supply of them pretty much for my own use. But now I want something prettier, however concerned that a LED bling glow might be an annoyance when I dont look at keyboard when I type so no need to see keys in dark. I feel for the home keys and just type. So as long as the F and J nubs are still able to be felt I'm golden. But this keyboard linked is good quality and pretty and not overly expensive at $49.99. There are other keyboards that glow for lesser. I had a USB type keyboard years ago that i got for $15 that glowed white and had a push button to turn back light on and off. My complaint with that keyboard for $15 was that it was flimsy. Keys felt more like a laptop keyboard with shorter traveling key presses and I am accustomed to fingers traveling the full distance of legacy keyboards or else I get tripped up. When switching between laptop and desktop it takes me a minute to readjust to the feel. Of course this could be eliminated by a USB keyboard used between both desktop and laptop so the feel and placement of keys remains the same. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823816083&cm_re=corsair_keyboard-_-23-816-083-_-Product |
