Anyway I already have the full controller+charger+bluetooth stack. I just have to make some tests. I now also have a 3D printer that hopefully will help with prototyping the case.
The project is not forgotten, just on queue

Just wondering if you had any time to re-visit the next keyboard yet? Loving the WhiteFox (well, both of them, haha), but would love a BT version.

In terms of group buy co-ordination: what about arranging a one-off partnership with an EU-based vendor who is able to fulfil orders globally? I guess it'd have to be a vendor with a good/trustworthy profile, though I can't offer any suggestions.

Love the ideas for the BT keyboard. Just got into mechs and would definitely be in for that.
Also, I realize this discussion was a bit earlier in the thread, but someone mentioned balancing out a 65% and thought I'd throw my "ideal" keyboard design out there. If someone made this with BT and Trackpoint, I'd literally throw money at them. I've never much understood the utility of the right shift bar, but maybe I'm unorthodox (also not a gamer - just a desk jockey that spends way too many hours in front of a screen). Right "Win" key is a bit of an afterthought, didn't know what to do with that blank space - seemed like an odd place to put Insert and Delete so I haphazardly threw those as a layer on the backspace and enter keys for now.

not still I'm alive
just had more urgent matters to attend (like buying a new house...). We are exploring various scenarios one of which is adding bluetooth to the WhiteFox. At the moment I can't even use the soldering iron but I already have the full stack ready (IC and BT module)... I just need to finish the renovation to the new house.
tl;dr November I'll be working back on this.

Which Keyboard is more of a priority right now, the RGB or Bluetooth, or a combo?

the company was Cooler Master and unfortunately they feel not to risk it for 2018. So we are back to square one. I have other contacts. I will make this happen guys!

I'm looking forward to hearing more about this, Matt! I'm hoping it's a 65% RGB with arrows keys and a split spacebar.
