As mentioned in the title, this board is fully wireless (except for charging of course) by using BlueMicro840s available from jpconstantineau.

In addition, there are power switches for each half hidden underneath the PCB near the encoders (because no need for TRRS jacks!) so these can be turned off completely.

Everything possible in this keyboard is hotswappable for easy repair (which is how I prefer to build nowadays), so switches/controller/OLED screens are all socketed – keebsandcables.
