Ask HN: Does classic Thinkpad like keyboard portable come as bluetooth keyboard

3 pointssreenadh8y ago4 comments

I just come across a [bluetooth keyboard](https://www.amazon.com/1byone-Foldable-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Smartphone/dp/B00VRCKK1Y). It looks nice. But chiclet keyboard is an issue.

Is a [classic Thinkpad like keyboard](http://www.thinkwiki.org/w/images/2/20/T430newkeyboard.jpg) available?

I am looking for a bluetooth keyboard to be used with my mobile devices.

There are classic Thinkpad keyboards in the used market: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Genuine-IBM-Lenovo-ThinkPad-USB-...

With some hardware hacking a USB keyboard can potentially be turned into a bluetooth device: https://lifehacker.com/convert-any-usb-keyboard-to-bluetooth...

2 things: 1. Its not classic keyboard 2. Its not compact like the link I shared (https://www.amazon.com/1byone-Foldable-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Sm...)

P.S.: Sorry for my formatting screwup in the main post.

That's the non-classic keyboard.
