Here's a commercial version of a wireless keyer.

No idea how it works. In their photo gallery, they show it with a K2.

I like the idea, but I don't like being stuck with their idea of a
paddle/keyer. Maybe there is some IR TX/RX out there that could be used.

Subject: [Elecraft] Wireless Mouse Wish List

Hello fellow Elecrafters:

Here's an idea that I've been thinking about for a while, but don't have the
technical expertise to implement.

I would like to build a wireless paddle. I've noticed that Microsoft and
Compaq have both recently come out with small wireless mice for laptops.
They cost $25. The receivers plug into the laptops via a USB port.

Does anyone have any idea how one could build a circuit with cannibalized
parts from one of these assemblies to use the left and right mouse buttons
for the paddle, and interface the USB receiver for keying?

I opened up a Logitech desktop wireless mouse, but the parts were all over
the place, and it was pretty large. Of course, the smaller the better for
both the transmitter and receiver. Sounds like a great SMD project. Any
interest Tom?

Also, how about something like a Bluetooth connected headset? You can have
two versions, earphones only for the K1, KX1, and microphone for the K2.

Just some ideas that I'm throwing out for minds greater than mine.

Thanks,
Paul Rubin N8NOV

K1, K2, KX1, and anything else that Elecraft ever decides to make.
