very cool! thank you so much for the video! super useful and i'm getting the module with the buttons on the case thanks to the vid! as i'm waiting to get it, i was wondering, with your setup with your keyboard and battery size, how long does a battery charge last? i understand it's dependent on usage but i was just wondering for your specific set up so that i have a reference number to work from. thanks!
I can see that you are a DIY veteran. I am glad to meet a friend who shares the same hobby as you. The module with the shell and buttons should be WBT2, using a 3400mAh 18650 lithium battery. The charging current is 1A, and it can be fully charged in about 4 hours. If the charging cable used is of better quality, the charging speed will be faster. The current of the module itself is about 0.02-0.03A when it is working, and the power consumption is less than 0.1W at 3.7V, which is almost negligible. The power consumption of the wired keyboard without lighting and additional multimedia control is 0.1W, and it can work continuously for 80 hours. However, this is all theoretical. The power consumption of keyboards varies greatly. I have encountered keyboards with power consumption of up to 30W, which shocked me. When I used WBT2 for my own test, I used an ordinary non-lit keyboard for 4-6 hours a day, and it could be used continuously for 1 week. There was still 1 indicator light left.
www.wscome.com/product/wired-keyboard-converted-to-wireless-keyboard-diy-kit/ This is the module I used in the video. It has been updated to the latest wbt-v3 version. If you don’t need the built-in one, I recommend using the dual-interface wbt2 module, which can convert the mouse and keyboard into wireless at the same time.
I'm using a 2000 mAh battery here, so the bigger the better if the size is right. In the latest wbt2 modules I use a 3400 mAh battery. The duration of use depends on the power consumption of the keyboard, which varies from model to model. The module itself consumes very little power. The operating current is only about 0.02A
Several people emailed me asking if the mouse was supported, so I modified the firmware to work with the mouse.Please rest assured to buy. I also want to ask, I replied to your email, can you receive my email? I want to know if my reply email went into the spam folder? thank you
@@jamjam2219 Oh, I already receive the email, and thank you for respond. I have another question about the product. This is also compatible with wired game controllers, because the Azeron Cyro, the mouse I want to modify, have mouse, keyboard, and game controller characteristics. Thank you for the help, I'll buy the product very soon.
@@williamschrodinger thank you, This module does not support game controllers because there is no code for game controllers in the program. Only keyboard and mouse are supported.
Can we make a multipoint connect version of this? Or make a wireless KVM switch that can switch between two PCs with no(minimum) delay! Here is my use case: I work on Windows laptop(Personal) and Macbook(Work) in parallel. Though Logitech MK850 is serving my purpose, I feel much comfortable with my Redragon K552. I like the TKL layout of K552 and is good enough for most of my usage. I was looking for a way to convert that into a wireless keyboard with minimal cost so I don't have to abandon it and spend on a new wireless mechanical keyboard again. Open for thoughts and ideas. Please help. :)
Now it has been modified to version 3, which supports multi-point connection. You need two wireless receivers, and you can switch between the two PCs in milliseconds directly through ctrl+alt+shift+1 or ctrl+alt+shift+2 in Windows and Mac. Bluetooth can also complete the switch, but the switching speed of Bluetooth is 2-3 seconds slower than that of the wireless receiver.
The flashing red light is the charging indicator, indicating that the battery is being charged. The working status indicator is always red, indicating the wired working mode, the blue flashing light is waiting for Bluetooth pairing, the blue light is always on, and the blue and red light together are always on, indicating the 2.4g wireless mode.
bro, I replied to your email, maybe you didn't see it. Please use single cell lithium batteries. The voltage of a single LiPo battery is between 3.3v and 4.2v, which varies depending on the amount of power. The power of the module itself is very small, only 0.07 watts. Therefore, any lithium battery will provide enough power for the module, what matters is the power consumption of the keyboard you are using, as the keyboard needs to draw power from the module. In most cases, I would recommend using a 3000 mAh Li-ion battery. If your keyboard has a lot of lights, the power consumption will be high, so you can increase the battery capacity. The higher the capacity, the better. Be sure to note that it is absolutely forbidden to reverse the power supply in any case, the wrong positive and negative terminals will burn the chip instantly.
The module does not support most USB hubs. If you need the keyboard and mouse to work together, you can buy the latest WBT2, which has dual interfaces to support keyboard and mouse to convert wireless and quickly switch computers.
Does this work while the battery is charging? I just ordered the module but didn't bother to check 😅. Also... Does it notify you when the battery is running low?
The remaining power will be displayed in Bluetooth mode, but because everyone uses different batteries, the power display may be inaccurate. The keyboard can still be used when charging. But please note that the module supports transmission via data cable. So if it is plugged into the USB port of the computer for charging, please press ctrl+alt+shift+e at the same time to adjust to wireless 2.4g mode or ctrl+alt+shift+Q in Bluetooth mode.
@@jamjam2219 I'm having some issues connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth. Honestly the instructions on the website are a bit lacking. The keyboard shortcut should be ctrl+alt+shift+Q. But when I press the combination the keyboard just switches mode but isn't discovered by my PC.
thankyou so much for the video ZEBRONICS Zeb-MAX Chroma Premium Mechanical Gaming Keyboard I've the keyboard and want to modify but I'm not sure can you please make a video over it i would be very much thankful to you please !!!!!!!
In 2.4g mode, it has the same latency as a regular wireless keyboard with no noticeable delay. I use this modular keyboard to play World of Tanks every day.
@@jamjam2219 Okay, could be my mistake, so I looked up what a USB dongle is: "An adapter of some type that plugs into the USB port, including a mouse/keyboard transreceiver, 3G/4G cellular adapter or security device." So, a dongle it is 😉
thank you I told my daughter that everyone loved this video and that the toy batteries she spent were well worth it. My daughter asked me to thank everyone. I rewarded her with candies again, and then my wife scolded me for giving the child too many candies. Now, well, not only do I have to pay my daughter with candies as a reward, but also buy clothes and bags to coax my wife. This is too expensive.
this video blew my mind, the visuals were stunning!
thank you

Cool video!
One question, do you notice any input delay with this method?
I want to convert my gaming keyboard.
Has the same latency as a regular wireless keyboard
I had the same problem and have been searching for a while really good video!
Thank you!!! you are one of my comments on youtube. I am very excited
Can I get the product links
Please
Works great, is there a software to edit the hot keys ?
yes
Excellent tutorial, thank you! ❤
Your comment makes me very happy.
Nice Work Bro...
can you provide me the product link of the module
thanks in advance

@@jamjam2219 Thanks so much
But I think it will be better to buy a wireless keyboard for ₹1000 in India because $29 is ₹2,512 in India 😅
its too expensive for me, can u provide the schematic?
Also, will this work with macro keys?
What's the wattage on your battery, and how long does it last?
5V on how much mah you use here?

@@jamjam2219 can it take power directly from USB C? Or does it have to be directly wired in to the battery?
@@andrewelgin It is possible to draw power directly from the usb-c without installing a battery.
if i have a wired keybaord with only a usbc port, can this module be used?
Yes, leave a message for the type-c interface when placing an order, and an adapter will be given
I need to know if it works for mouse or if this only works for keyboards, I want to modify my mouse
Also, great video 🖤

This is legit pretty cool. But a 25$ device to mod my 10$ keyboard won't cut it. Highly suggest for a good quality wired keyboard
Any idea why I would be seeing flashing red lights on this instead of blue?
The flashing red light is the charging indicator, indicating that the battery is being charged. The working status indicator is always red, indicating the wired working mode, the blue flashing light is waiting for Bluetooth pairing, the blue light is always on, and the blue and red light together are always on, indicating the 2.4g wireless mode.

Can you connect the module to a usb hub?
The module does not support most USB hubs. If you need the keyboard and mouse to work together, you can buy the latest WBT2, which has dual interfaces to support keyboard and mouse to convert wireless and quickly switch computers.
i have a keyboard with detachable wired type c connection, is there any plug and play device to make it wireless ?
According to your needs, I will make a plug-and-play wireless module and make a video, so stay tuned
I have made a new video about plug and play. You are welcome to watch it.

Sorry, brother, I don't have this keyboard, so I can't make a modification video for this keyboard for you.
Borrowed battery for 3 bags of candy 😂😂😂😂
Still figuring out your language😂😂
So then watch quiet and shut up
not for gaming whats the latency?
In 2.4g mode, it has the same latency as a regular wireless keyboard with no noticeable delay. I use this modular keyboard to play World of Tanks every day.
It took me a visit to the Wscome web shop to find out that the (2.4Ghz?) USB dongle is included of the kit.
This kit does not have a dongle, it is a 2.4g wireless receiver
