Experience with batteries on split keyboard
Experience with batteries on split keyboard
Hey folks, I'm toying with the thought of a portable, wireless/BLE, 34 key split kbd. Most builds that I've looked at hide the battery. Questions:
- Do you mount the batteries? If so, where? Examples?
- Does it in any way impact the portability?
- Are there any other notable differences (in comparison to a wired board) one should be aware of?

Some boards that use the nice!nano have room to tuck a small battery (I think 110mAh) underneath the controller. If they use the 3 middle pins on the nano though, that's not an option. Rechargeable coin cells are an option, but for boards with the usual LiPO pouch cells, you'll probably want some kind of case. Some folks just use double-sided tape to hold the battery to the PCB but I'd rather have some protection.
