This is not guitar related, but I was thinking of trying out a wireless (BT) midi keyboard controller, now that they're finally available.
Have anyone here tried those out yet? Is latency bad?
Will the major DAWs even detect them?

I'm interested in any responses as well.

Currently using a USB Midi controller keybd.

I've seen and heard the Fishman Triple Play and I've noticed
some slight latency with their guitar wifi controller, so would be
interested to hear from others on the bluetooth keyboard controllers.

The reviews seem decent enough:

I was thinking of the Korg Microkey AIR. It seems reasonably priced, but does the wireless actually work, reliably, without noticeable latency?

Tried that one and yes, works well. No more latency than a bluetooth speaker.
