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.

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.

See this comment chain: https://old.reddit.com/r/olkb/comments/s95y98/is_bluetooth_w...

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

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:

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.
