If anyone from ZSA is here, please make wireless keyboards. I’m rocking an Ergodox for the past few years. It’s worth every penny, but I cannot carry it around

If anyone from ZSA is here, please make wireless keyboards. I’m rocking an Ergodox for the past few years. It’s worth every penny, but I cannot carry it around with all the cables.

Very much seconded. I have an Ergodox and a Moonlander (and a bunch of other keyboards), but I've already decided I'm not getting anything new until it's available in a wireless option.

I'm looking forward to giving the Keychron K15 Pro a spin. It's not _nearly_ as compact as something like the Voyager, but I've never been productive on <75% layouts. My only missing feature is layer support, so if anyone from Keychron is listening....

I don't think they will or at least not with QMK running in the background. They would need to switch to ZMK first in my opinion.

  Keychron makes QMK wireless keyboards, so there's no blocker on the tech side.

A competing option that does include wireless is the Dygma Defy [0], which does have more keys but might be a good option for you if you're okay with not being ultra-minimalist. [0]: https://dygma.com/products/dygma-defy https://dygma.com/products/dygma-defy

Dygma is coming out with the Defy this month, which comes with wireless capability and is also an ortholinear split board! I have their other keyboard, the Raise, and its unbelievably good. I modded the heck out of it and now folks come up to me just the press the keys.

If you buy a bt-500 from handheld scientific you can hook up to a powerbank and use it semi wirelessly. You’ve still got a cable going to the powerbank and adapter but at least you don’t have to run a cable to the laptop. Alternatively keebmaker sell wireless cornes and Ferris sweeps - you’re best off getting the sweep because the leds on the Corne drain the battery life even when they’re switched off.

  Where is a good review of the Ferris sweep? Have looked at this before but haven't seen what makes it stand out.

    What is it you want to know about it? r/ergomechkeyboards has quite a few posts about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/search/?q=ferris https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/search/?q=ferris

I am a customer and bought several ZSA keyboards. I specifically DO NO want wireless. I want tried and tested wired with appropriate cable length and that's exactly what they did here.
