bluetooth

[snovak]

I'm particularly interested in the workings of the keyboard. Namely the wiring. Are you wiring your keyboards manually? Or hacking existing keyboards for parts/functionality. Every try a wireless or bluetooth setup. I ask because I have an idea, and would like to prototype it out.

Does anyone know of some good links to get started in keyboard prototyping?

You could get a bluetooth/other kind of wireless keyboard and wire its controller up to the keyboard you want to bluetoothify.

This could/should also be an interesting read http://www.dribin.org/dave/keyboard/html/
