I really like my keyboards wireless, specifically BLE (so no receiver dongles).
I also like them to have long battery life (months).
I don't care for backlight LEDs.
Is there existing open-source firmware that would tick these boxes? I couldn't find anything last time I looked.
(I own and love an HHKB Hybrid Type-S, but am curious to what extent it can be replicated -- and then tweaked -- using open-source designs that already exist.)

- aix1 5y agoThanks for prompting me take another look at ZMK. I remember concluding that power consumption would have been an issue, but either things have improved or I just reached the wrong conclusion last time I looked. https://zmk.dev/power-profiler/ https://zmk.dev/power-profiler/
