I've got a Moonlander, which I love. But I really do wish it was wireless, the cable the joins the two halves in particular gets in the way and makes it painful to use the space between the halves for a notebook.
I'm kinda hoping that someone will figure out how to jury rig a ESP32 into one of these boards, so it's possible to add wireless capabilities using a screwdriver and a soldering iron. Even better would be is ZSA provided headers (even unpopulated headers) on the boards so that you could strap a co-processor like an ESP32 to it, without having the mess too much with the PCB.
I imagine, with some work and custom firmware, it would be possible to get the power consumption to Logitech levels of efficiency. One AA in each side lasting a year, that would be ideal.
- daedalus_j 3y agoI use a split keyboard (UHK) with the two halves on either side of a notebook. FWIW I have a mousepad/deskmat that sits between the halves and allows me to tuck the cord under it. This keeps it from moving around, with an added bonus of keeping my cats from playing with it. It also serves to align the two keyboard halves and keep them from moving around at all. Might be worth looking in to, was a pretty major QOL improvement for me! Mine is some gaming mouse pad to get the XL size, but I got it specifically for the exact width I needed.
