You should put a link to your store somewhere. I can’t seem to find it in the past.

In fairness, most clients don’t link/highlight incomplete URLs, so it’s easy to miss.

actually when I post this, there is a field for url and I’ve filled that with the actual url for the store, somehow it doesn’t appear at all.

Question - is the low profile enclosed aluminum corne case compatible with any of the standard corne PCBs? I have a bunch of v2 boards already assembled, and am considering case options.

This case: http://ergomech.store/shop/corne-enclose-case-choc-version-54

If you’re ready to loose the oled screens, then yes it should fit. I designed this for the choc version, and on the choc version, the holes for the oled is a bit closer to the promicro than on the cherry version. And if you install the cherry pcb on this, the oled holes are obstructed by a piece of the case, thus cannot fit properly. If you loose the oled screens, they should fit nicely.

This is based on the v3 pcb, I’m not sure about the v2 pcb, I’ll have to check, but if the holes are 1-2mm from the controller, it will fit.

Thanks for the link. I’ve been looking at the Cornish Zen recently.

What would be the major differences between keyboards on your site and the CZ? I see they’re both wireless.

Functionally, they’re not very different. The CZ has onboard controllers so over all, it’s thinners, it has a e-ink display so it burn less battery. The Corne uses separate wireless controller (bluemicro840), so I have to design a case around this controller, thus making the case thicker and less refined than the CZ. It also can use an e-ink screen (the nice!view), but it’s not very easy to find, so I stick with OLED screens. My version can accommodate a huge battery so it can last months event with OLED screens.

Cool, thanks for the description! I’m interested in buying a pre built keyboard optimized for traveling. Which configuration would you recommend from your site?

Just checking - they all use QMK or ZMK right?

Optimized for travel, then I’d suggest wireless low profile corne. It’s small, light and wireless.

Yep, wired keyboard uses QMK, wireless uses ZMK.

1000mAh, from my personal use, It can last at least 1 month possibly two, but I usually charge it once per 2-3 weeks.

I am curious about the rotary enc. Sofle got it too. How useful is it for development and some gaming purposes?

Honestly this is pretty amazing. Didn’t know one could easily buy that, would have reconsidered my Logitech purchase, haha.

Is it possible to have a volume control button? Is it possible to have lighted keys? Does it support Bluetooth, WiFi, and cable? (3 machines) Dies the software allow building macros?

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn’t exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
