TenKeyLess Wireless Mechanical Keyboard?

Vitalius
 Share
Go to solution Solved by C0LL0SS0S,

Now that is absolutely perfect for what it will be used for.

Some caveats I noticed via Amazon Reviews:

  • Warranty is basically non-existent.
  • USB port for charging is fragile.
  • It's not Cherry MX, but it does feel better than Rubber Dome.

It'll do. Thanks. :D

 

Edit: @C0LL0SS0S

I found an alternative here: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=817

I'll offer both and let her decide.

Oh nice haven't seen that before

I need a small wireless mechanical keyboard. It's going to basically be for my aunt to type on her Smart TV.

Before anyone replies with "Why does it have to be mechanical?", I got my aunt to purchase a Cherry MX Blue keyboard and she loves it so much that Mechanical is all she wants to use.

Any help would be appreciated. I'd like it to be high quality.

you didn't ask me first

*walks off feeling dejected*

@Charger, what would you suggest then? She hasn't decided yet. 

Plus, if you can find other things beside the two already listed, I'd be surprised and interested as finding small, mechanical, wireless keyboards is hard.

Thanks for both of your inputs.

Sorry I didn't ask you guys first, but I just figured the selection would be so limited that I'd find the best one quickly.

... Something I actually just considered:

Would either of you be interested in building me a wireless mechanical tenkeyless keyboard?

I mean, I'm sure the Matias will work, but ... in the future... I myself might be interested in such things if you guys are.

there have been a few customs but i have not seen much that i would call good yet i think best bet is to use a controller from a wireless keyboard or mod that bluetooth adapter thing into a keyboard
