Why wireless isn't a must have? Or I am the only one think about this?

woodlinWireless keyboards sometimes have lag, and it's an added cost that not everyone needs. Personally, I'm glad they chose USB-C.

mayhYup, you're right. If I remember correctly, there's also some weird thing with international shipping that makes it so that shipping a certain type of battery adds like $40 to the cost.

nickaa827Batteries contain various kinds of acids and/or other stuff that is classified as hazardous materials, hence the shipping premiums.

nickaa827The battery doesn't need to be included when shipping though. It can be AAA or AA installed by user.

woodlinI hear you @woodlin. My main computer for work is a Surface, so usb ports are at a premium. Bluetooth would be a very much appreciated feature. Perhaps a bluetooth accessory could plug in?

nickaa827Is there a Bluetooth dongle that can make a keyboard wireless? I realise it would need a battery.

verdigrisYes https://www.massdrop.com/buy/bluetooth-keyboard-adapter I have a Bluetooth Filco from 10+ years ago, and the keyboard is great until the connection goes and my computer gets unending phantom keypresses. It didn't have to happen that often before I started rethinking my aversion to wires.
