Question: will it work on OS X with Bluetooth and trackpoint #1

Hi, sorry, I cannot find exact answers on my newbie questions and don't know where to ask my questions. I intent to use your project to make a first keyboard. I want to make full wireless build with trackpoint.

  1. Is it possible? (Without wire between halves and computer)

  2. If keyboard will be without trackpoint/trackpad am I able to use keyboard's buttons on some layer to move mouse cursor and make left/right button clicks/holds?

  3. Will it work on OS X?

  4. Will it work on OS X and Win/Lin without need of re-flashing(it is not a problem if I would need to add some changes in firmware)?

  5. May I use Kailh switches(non low profile) with your PCB? Gatheron?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, haven't checked if trackpoint works on nRFMicro sorry. Also there are a lot of other boards, even preassembled ones in the nRFMicro wiki.

Just checked it ends with /protocol/ps2_mouse.c:19:19: fatal error: avr/io.h: No such file or directory. nRF52 is ARM, not AVR, needs patching tmk_core/ps2_mouse.c. there are also ps2_io_avr.c and ps2_io_mbed.c the latter isn't used anywhere in the build files. So yeah you'd need some time and elbow grease to port it to ARM. I'm not interested just yet.
