Someday I want to try this hack, but the fact no one else seems to have
done it scares me.  You'd think there'd be a way to convert a wired
keyboard to an RF wireless (via cannibalization or the like).  The
problem, of course, would be the trackpoint...

Have you ever asked Unicomp (http://www.pckeyboard.com) if they can do
it?  They already make a trackpoint buckling spring keyboard, and they
do do custom jobs.  Of course, they don't offer an RF wireless, only IR,
so they may not have the expertise to do that.  (Their Linux 101
keyboards with Ctrl in the Caps Lock space always intrigued me.)

I think I'll send an e-mail to Dan of dansdata.com about this.  He's an
unabashed lover of the old M-type keyboards
(http://www.dansdata.com/ibmkeyboard.htm).
