Transform wired keyboard in wireless

Postby drinkO » Tue Nov 30, 2021 2:38 pm

Hello world...
So... I have a mechanical keyboard that i love, and i want to transform it, so that it works wirelessly.
I know people have done this in various ways, but i thought that i could do this with a ESP32.

Do you guys think i can do it?
Right now i have a ESP32 board and a battery. Is there anything more that i have to get? (i´m very new in this world, so go easy on me)
Is there any project that you guys know that have done the same?

I guess the ESP could emulate a bluetooth keyboard. Then you need to figure out how to get the keystrokes from your keyboard into the ESP and send those over bluetooth.

Here a 5 second search on the internet finds this:

Oh I read somewhere that the new esp device can support USB host mode, that would allow you to plug in any usb keyboard into the esp and send the keystrokes over bleutooth.
