Help me find a Wireless Ergonomic Back lit keyboard for my boss

[JayTay]

Ok so I work at a software company and my boss asked me to find him a keyboard that is ergonomic since he codes 8 hours a day, Backlit because he does not like to turn on lights, and he would like it to be wireless so he can move it around as he likes. He currently has a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate and loves it but he says that it is starting to stress his hands and he is having to cut down the time the codes because of the lack of ergonomic curve. I looked for this mythical unicorn before Christmas and I had to report to him that it does not exist. He approached me last week and again I had nothing to show him. So if anyone knows of a keyboard like this please help me. Help me find this unicorn!!!

Define "ergonomic" Is he looking for one of those split keyboards? Or just one with a wrist rest and feel to tilt it?

Maybe look at one of the DIY boards on Massdrop, not cheap by any means but if he really wants it you can build it

[JayTay]

He wants a split ergonomic keyboard like a Microsoft 4000 series. but he wants it wireless (does not care if its Bluetooth or RF). with the Backlit and cherry MX Brown switches.

Logitech K830?

Ok, let me know if I am out of my mind because I do not know enough about Bluetooth to know if this will work. So I take a Mistel Mechanical Keyboard https://www.amazon.com/Mistel-Ergonomic-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches/dp/B01MCV48B6?th=1 (my boss liked the keyboard and said yes) and then add a Bluetooth USB dongle and a USB battery pack to power the keyboard. Can I pair it with a computer and how would I go about doing this?

My question about the blue tooth connection are the following:

1. how would I pair the devices? would the receivers each have a unique ID and be able to recognize each other

2. since I would not have to have any drivers for the keyboard would the keystrokes register in the OS or would I have to run a key mapping program

3. will a USB battery bank power the keyboard and the dongle?
