Question: Any changes you'd recommend?
I was looking into doing a wireless Corne build and yours seems to be the closest I've found to what I'd want to do. I was curious if after using the keyboard for a while if there's anything you would do differently if you were to do this build again.
Nothing really, I like it the way it is. The on-off switch was something I really wanted, and it worked out quite well to mount it in the OLED covers the way I did. The case is also quite sturdy, and I like that I can really fine tune the tilt height since I used bolts for the feet. You can screw them up or down to your preference.
The only thing I'm wasn't thrilled about with it was having to learn ZMK. It's pretty different to work with if you're adding some custom features. That said, it builds using Github Actions, which is pretty nice.
In the end, I don't find the wireless part as amazing as I thought when I started this build. The Corne is such a compact board that even if you had to pack a usb and TRRS cable, it's barely any difference in size. I'm also a mac user, and the mac bluetooth is just awful. I've spent far too many hours troubleshooting connection problems across different mac computers.
If I were to make another board, I'd probably use the same case for a Corne, but I'd probably just get USB-C controllers and make a wired version with QMK.
