Interesting! This makes everything seem so much more doable and impossible at the same time! If possible, I'd love the actual letter hitting the ribbon to be my "key press" just to make things that much more authentic(annoying).

Are there nice options for wired? I just assumed Bluetooth was the standard way to go on a kit, but it would be far more comically satisfying to plug my typewriter into a USB port.

All those firmwares work fine, or even better, over USB. Of course, there's also the option to simply buy a kit. No idea if these people are legit, but the tech itself looks simple enough, a circuit board with contacts that let the linkage make a connection.
