Re: [Elecraft] [PX3] Adafruit P/N 1737 Wireless Keyboard

These all look suspiciously alike, and have no branding on the keyboard itself.

I have this one, but sold under a different name.  It works great.

I also have one that looks identical except for the ON-OFF switch.  There isn't 
one.  It also works great.  

One is on the P3/SVGA, the other is on the PX3.  They've been interchanged 
between the two and work correctly either place.  I prefer the one with no 
switch because it's always ready to go.  For reasons of training and perhaps 
OCD, I do turn the switch off on the keyboard with the switch.  

I use NIMH rechargeables in both and they haven't needed recharging in over a 
year.

YMMV

I recently acquired this one 
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M75WPKO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8=1 
and am using it with my computer. Caveat: Not yet 
tested with PX3, but I really like it with 
computer, it seems well built and price was right.

The Adafruit 1737 wireless keyboard I ordered showed up today. Appears to work 
fine with the PX3 in case anyone’s interested.

I would consider the price a little high with shipping - $17 for the keyboard 
and more than $12 for shipping. The keyboard is not very robust but I don’t  
plan on standing on it. :)

All I’ve tried so far is Ctrl-Alt-M to see if it would communicate. It 
communicates fine. I will try adding macros in the next day or two but I don’t 
think there will be any issue.
