Re: keyboard selection help
Well, by now I think the safe thing to do is to buy one of these wired Cherry boards labeled as ''Made in Europe'' (I guess that would be the Czech republic, as a country) and then go for a custom Bluetooth solution, maybe based on some of these nRF ICs from NordicSemiconductors.

I want to help reduce dependency on China, whereas still pursuing my goal of having a wireless keyboard.Why? Chauvinism aside.

Re: keyboard selection help
I know I cannot completely avoid some Chinese parts inside a product. But I want a keyboard on which it is written ''Made in...'' ... somewhere else than China. And I thought Topre switches are made in Japan, similar to MX switches being made in Germany. Is that not the case?

Re: keyboard selection help
Thank you for the suggestions. Well, HHKB is both wireless and made in Japan. As I am not an expert and still came across it, I imagine a specialized forum would be able to pop up more like this.
I know about kits, but I am really looking at buying ready-made. And wireless.

keyboard selection help
I am on the lookout for purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse. Does not have to be top-notch, but I need them to be manufactured in Europe, Japan or US . Turns out to be a real challenge! All I am now aware of are the HHKbs, do you know of any others? Do you have any suggestions? Regards, Cristian
