It doesn't just sound like that. It _is_ hilarious. BT beamspring is a something of a holy grail around here.

As for hardware - I'll try to figure that out. There are 3 cheap NRF51822 modules coming my way - unfortunately without tracking - which I'll try to graft onto CS. If that's successful - I'll figure out the battery power somehow and bam - bluetooth beamspring, the endgame keyboard.
Sound good, keep us updated with the project, maybe I'll try it in future.

Definetly, I could probably even put a normal laptop battery inside it and still have a lot of free space

Yeah, you can charge your notebook from it!

Looks great! Now it just needs a solenoid clicker. Bluetooth would be awesome though.

I still have the original clicker here but I have to admit that the board is already loud enough for me :lol:
