The tumbleweed in this thread is, sadly, quite appropriate. There's a real shortage of wireless mechs out there right now. I've been looking for one myself since I first posted on DT, but in that time the only half-decent wireless board I've seen is Filco's Minila Air. That one's well built and has epic battery life. But the layout's a bit awkward to say the least.
Meanwhile, we've been building our own Bluetooth controllers for the HHKB and… soon… the IBM Model M series. I have a prototype in this very SSK - currently operating in USB mode, but with Bluetooth components ready - waiting on Phosphorglow's experiments with code. I'm looking forward to using it that way myself!
Not that most offices are comfortable with people using buckling springs…
I really do hope Topre heeds our advice and goes Bluetooth soon. Same for Filco beyond the Air. I've been waiting on a wireless Majestouch 3 for years now.

Well, apparently there is also this:

If I had not bought that same keyboard in the corded version (and with the mint green caps ) I would be all over that. If the hardware is the same apart from the bluetooth as their usual TKL, it is a really solid board (the 'p' character has some issues in the font used for dye sublimation, if you look closely)

They have those on Amazon UK for the same price, was sorely tempted. There's also a 60% version but I wouldn't want to use an unprogrammable Poker-layout 60%.

I have a bluetooth JD 45. The largest impediment to getting it done was the case; the wireless itself is pretty easy using the Bluefruit EZ-Key from adafruit as a base.
