I got a flexible USB keyboard that I easily carry around with my NB. It seems very convenient at the beginning, but now the USB wire is really annoying. So, I search for the wireless keyboard, but the size of all the wireless keyboards is too big and they are not flexible, which making they are not easy to carry around with. I am wondering if there is a way to turn this USB keyboard into a wireless keyboard. If possible, turn into a BlueTooth keyboard would be the best choice because my nb has build-in BT receiver and I don't want another receiver pluged into my nb.

Think about it. The keyboard requires power. It gets that power from the USB connection to the PC. It does not have any internal battery. I somehow doubt there is a separate device available that you would plug the keyboard into to utilise your BT
I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

It is possible to turn that keyboard into Bluetooth or Wireless (Electronicaly and in theory) althou nothing like that exists. You have to make it yourself or ask someone to do it. You have to make PCB and drivers! I don't think its worth the money! I have a small portabe wireless keyboard with integrated trackball. Its very slim and quit cheap from MkPlus.
I'm just a shadow of my former self!
