This is a quick video tutorial demonstrating how to add the BLE660C module to a Leopold FC660C.
CORRECTION AT 9:00: The battery will charge when USB is plugged in, regardless whether the button is on or off.
I believe the module's original seller is on Taobao, but it looks like there are some resellers shipping from China on eBay. If you're outside of China, ordering from Taobao may be difficult, I think eBay is generally simpler despite the mark-up.
Module on Taobao: world.taobao.com/item/5902365...
Module on eBay: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=...
Battery: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
The battery I used was 503365 but the ideal size is 493998.

That looks very good. Is there any other way than taobao to buy this board? Are you making these boards? Thanks

@By6000 2 года назад

Unfortunately, I don't think there are any reputable resellers I've found outside of China. I was hoping to find these boards on eBay but the only reliable place seemed like Taobao - I know it's pretty annoying especially having to deal with proxies. I got mine through a friend in China who happened to be visiting the US and was able to bring it along. And sadly no, I'm not making these boards lol.

I wish this was open source or at least buyable without proxies

Thank you for this video! Just wanted to check, the Yang module is only for Bluetooth, and you cannot change the keymap like you can with a Hasu, is that correct?

@yrath5034 Год назад

I know this reply is a bit late, but just like the Hasu board it is fully re-programmable. I currently have the hasu board installed and I'm just about to order this one. You can search for "yd keymap builder for ble660c"

@@yrath5034 Thank you!

Question: Will this board also work as just a USB-C Interface without the battery? So basically, does the keyboard still connect over USB-C when no battery is installed? Or does it only connect over Bluetooth no matter what?

@By6000 6 месяцев назад

Yes, it still works via the USB-C cable even without Bluetooth.

How do we re-pair the bluetooth? I have the mod, but I have no idea how to control the bluetooth settings.

@theforgedone 2 года назад

Nevermind - I found the website for the BLE has an extensive english help file. Thank you for the video - I'm loving this mod! It brought my keyboard back to life. (Literally - my dog laid on the cord while it was plugged in, pulled the USB port off the PCB board).

Is that also work with m1 macbook? Someone said that it need to be reconnected when macbook is rebooted. Seriously wanna know it but there's nobody tested about it...

@By6000 2 года назад

I have an M1 MacBook Pro and the keyboard connects fine after rebooting. It seems to not work at the login screen when trying to type my password in though but after signing it, it seems like Bluetooth reconnected fine. I have an Intel MacBook Pro too and it's a similar experience.

I would personally not trust a lipo battery... sad because if it was a regular lithium ions, i would had gotten one.

@zaheedhasib 2 года назад

After watching this, I just went and ordered HHKB Hybrid. Too much work/cost.

@By6000 2 года назад

Totally fair, trying to order this Bluetooth module from China in the first place was so much hassle. I actually first tried the HHKB Hybrid and was a fan of the Topre switches but I just couldn't get used to the layout (mainly the missing arrow keys for me) even after weeks which made me get this instead.
