I wonder how hard it is to make my on logitech wireless keyboard.
like, not a keyboard that works wirelessly, that's easy and I've done it already (the cubekeyboard).
but one that works with logitech receivers.
maybe I could buy their cheapest wireless keyboard, destroy it, and then wire my own hardware up to the keyboard matrix?

@foone I have always wondered if anyone's ever reprogrammed the receivers. As I recall, one of the flavors of them (can't recall if it's Unifying or another one) just basically has a little Nordic RF mcu with radio receiver and USB interface on it. I never did look into just what the development environment for that was though

@glassresistor yeah I'm basically building that today. a raspi pico W that connects to a keyboard over bluetooth but then acts as a usb keyboard to the PC

@foone i think they switched from a proprietary RF thing to something closer to bluetooth(but still locked in) when the pop keyboards came out, so it might be 2things now
ive been wondering if going the other way and making a bluetooth dongle thats programmable via software but holds the keys and setting on the dongle and so the OS sees it as a regular usb keyboard, mouse, maybe even headphones
so it can be swapped computer to computer

@foone oh nice if u get anywhere id love a breakdown/repo or whatever

@glassresistor sadly it seems my brilliant plan fell down at step 1:
my bluetooth keyboard I'm trying to use doesn't work. it won't pair with anything

@rudi linked a video of someone breaking the encryption on these. So it seems I don't necessarily need to vivisect a logitech keyboard.
