Well, I always wanted to build a Corne but was worried about gaming and how it would work, but seeing a fellow warlock main playing with it makes me confident that will not be an issue. Thanks for the video!
what you did with the battery is clever. you soldered a socket in place of lcd headers and used a wire on the back to connect the socket to the battery 👍
Thanks! I don't really focus on how to videos, as I think there's a lot of guides / information out there already, but my latest video goes into a bit more detail so it would be worth a watch I think.
for gaming I ended up needing to get a preonic - i find it pretty easy switching from columnar to ortholinear, and I use the same layout for both.. i could NOT type on a standard staggered layout anymore.
🦄 Wow, maaaan, what is the case material? It looks tremendously good with such a rough finish... More like a premium product, unlike generic ABS / PLA...
It's an SLS print from JLCPCB. The material itself is a nylon. The quality and feel really is fantastic. MJF is also similar, but the natural color of it is a medium gray, however it can also be dyed black.
@@EIGAtech I just ordered one yesterday :P Also ordered some testers made of MJF & Resin to see how they are different! Thanks to your content I discovered this keeeyb!
curious to know what's the reason you don't type with your pinky on this keyboard. column staggers, from what i gather, are made with finger lengths in mind. unlike row stagger keebs, this feels like a great layout to type with all 10 fingers.
I do sometimes but when I want to type fast it's just muscle memory taking over. I also find using my pinky for anything other than modifiers to be somewhat uncomfortable. Compared to how I was typing before, the Corne did help my touch typing a great deal, though. Not even worth comparing. So maybe I need to practice using the pinky as well.
@@EIGAtech i picked up touch typing during quarantine and now i find not using the pinky uncomfortable haha. but hey, if it works for you, it works. love the video btw. this board isn't available where i'm from, and have been cosidering a similar keeb called Reviung41. not much coverage on these keyboard layouts, and your explaining of layers specifically make me want to try one for myself. keep it up!
@@kouhaiii3182 Thanks! There's also a new video with my updated build, in case you missed it. I'm familiar with the Reviung, but never tried it for myself.
What screw did you use for the tenting legs? It's look so clean, especially the bottom of the screw legs. And what connector did you use in the video to connect nice!nano with the battery? I'm planning on using it both wired and wireless with ZMK, so that connector is crucial.
I guess you could. I can connect two keyboards on my pc (not mechanical/custom), one on bluetooth and other with RF dongle. I can also connect a third with USB cable. Not sure about two bluetooth at the same time, but probably so if you're using bluetooth 5.0+ on your machine
I've wanted one for ages but I don't want to build it (cause I'd mess up so bad) and all the pre-built ones are sold out since 7 years back with 28 years of queue-time until the next drop.
@@EIGAtech I just recently picked up a sofle kit and have been loving it. Falling down the rabbit hole and as I learn I feel like a corne is the perfect style. I probably won't grab one for another year though while I settle in with this sofle.
I saw somebody with this keyboard in a coffee shop today. It's interesting enough that I am considering it. I am in the middle of taking a 4x4 macropad (keybow2040) and building it into the back of an iPhone case, so that you type with fingers wrapped around it with thumbs on glass. I gave it a computer-braille layout, so that I can completely emulate a US qwerty keyboard. I have a last-inch problem that is driving me nuts... it is ONLY iOS that has terrible navigation between windows and applications. I can't figure out what the keycodes for things like Fn+H are... as Fn isn't a normal key with a scancode. It's just that when Fn is down, my circuit python code needs to emit some special bytes. And I can't figure out what they need to be. Apparently it follows whatever Apple Magic keyboard does. This is all weird, as you would think that using an iPhone with a usbc keyboard would not be THAT strange. I even discovered that you need a special OTG cable as well. I am definitely going down an unusual mechanical keyboard path. I can't believe that with so many people making keyboards that after a month, I still haven't managed to get enough info about keycodes that iOS recognizes. I am definitely thinking of taking a bit of a detour and maybe building one of these. They look really cool.
@@HanungMerahbara i dont know if this was always there, and i just missed it; or saw the FN button being used, and just got wrapped up in trying to make that work. thanks! i have needed a home function on my custom keyboard for a very long time.

If you're familiar with qmk, writing keymaps by hand it won't be too different, if you're inexperienced wirh writing code it can be daunting, same for qmk but I can be done. I am a complete noob when it comes to writing code and managed to write a working keymap for my Corneish-zen.
I’ve actually combined two sets (one with legends and one blank). The legends are pretty faint in real life, so you could just go with one set. Updated the description with a link to the case.
@@EIGAtech Quick follow up as I'm sourcing parts for my own build based on this; At 1:23 I notice that you have the battery JST plugged vertically into the board and it looks AMAZING! Are you just using the OLED holes to route the wires from the JST back around to the Nice!Nano?
@@bibbitz that's correct. we had v2 pcbs, which are reversible and have jumpers that need to be bridged depending on what side of the pcb gets used. the jst connector was mounted into the oled pins, one of them was the ground pin and it was bridged, while the unbridged pin was connected with a wire to a power switch and then to raw (you could connect it to the backside of the raw pin if you dont plan on using a switch).
@@bibbitz no, unfortunately the v3 pcbs have no jumpers. it wont work unless you literally cut the traces. as an alternative, and if you have the room for it, you could wire the batteries directly to your n!n and use inline connectors, if you ever want to quickly remove them. ideally someone would modify the pcbs to include all of these features; I know that foostan has some of them on the back burner, on his github roadmap.
@@slappy_chimp not premade. You buy a kit, they give you bare bones PCB and some standoffs so it doesnt touch the ground. It isn't prewired too, so you have to manually wirre the pcb
Those were custom graphics I made, but you could look into this: nickcoutsos.github.io/keymap-editor/ You need to connect your github repo to it, but it's a more visual way of customizing ZMK. Not quite as easy as QMK with something like Remap or VIA, but it's something. I also have a new video out with some updates to the Corne build.
The case shown in this video was printed at JLCPCB using the SLS process. The material itself is a nylon powder. I recommend either SLS (like the one in the video) or MJF (natural gray or painted black). Can’t go wrong with either!
Di you solder anything? Or was it mostly prebuilt? I’m trying to find a prebuilt option for these keyboards but most websites say they require soldering…
For gaming you can just go 1 row down and 1 column to the right, so instead of 'wasd' you use 'dxcv' as movement keys, this should open up enough keys very close to your left hand to play most games. If you play MMO's, you can open up another key, because usually you don't need a backwards key as it's the slowest way to go backwards, so you go with 'xcv' for movement keys and of course you'll use shift and ctrl as modfier keys. If you still feel like you need more keys for MMO's, consider buying something like the newest Razer Naga just for those games. Just my 2 cents as someone who's venturing into split kb's and also play a variety of video games.
I did try out DXCV actually but very briefly. My main issue with "non-standard" setups is having to go through the trouble of rebinding keys for each new game, not to mention getting used to it in the first place.
@@EIGAtech Yea I can understand that, I've just always had to change some key bindings and settings in every game I play anyway, so the extra changes don't really bother me. As for getting used to new binds, it's not as bad as learning a new layout imo, but yeah it's something you need to get used to. And if you're not bothered by not having a row above, no need to change anything.
Thanks for pointing it out! I fixed the link. Don't be fooled by the PCB in JLCPCB, they do offer 3D printing. The case in the video is printed at JLC using their SLS process.
I use a crkbd myself and was wondering why you dont use ESDF instead of WASD as its already in that perfect natural position and key binds need to be changed to adapt anyway.
@@EIGAtech at this level of custom keyboards with exotic layouts and strange form factors its all personal preference. When i started diving into this rabbit hole i went straight down the deep end with a "why not" mentally. So having to re map keys for games i kept 1U from home row in mind
I am thinking about building a Wireless Corne myself. The only open Question I have left is about the battery. Do you have to remove it or can it be loaded via USB from the Mircontroller?
Ok so how do you turn it off when you are not using it? From there how long does your battery last on average with normal usage? Also love the build, super clean and your video is perfect.
Thank you! There's a very tiny switch near the USB port that can be used to turn off each side. You can use this tool to estimate battery life: zmk.dev/power-profiler
Very cool build, looking to do something like this. One question about the battery life, by 1 week you mean actual 1 week when the keyboard is turned on so 168 hours of keyboard life, or 1 week that just just use the keyboard daily and then have to re-charge after 1 week?
Thanks! I never turn the keyboard off, the firmware puts it in sleep mode when it's not actively used. I charge it about once a week. I also take care not to fully drain the battery, so I might chare it a bit sooner than exactly one week. The battery % in Windows only seems to work when it feels like, but when it does it seems relatively accurate.
Could you point out which case nylon (or anything really) to utilize from the website you linked? Which switch type between linear or tactile would you suggest best utilizes the build materials of brass screws and spacers, a PE foam sandwiched and all FR4 plates? Specifically, I am going for the gateron north pole switches for linear vs the durock t1 POM sunflower for tactile. Basically the best in thock, smoothness and lowest stem wobble.
Hi, good to hear gaming is still possible on this layout, I'm very tempted to go down this rabbit hole. I really like the look of the design shown at the end. 4:50 ish in the video Is there a breakdown somewhere of what was used for this build?
I'm really interested in these split keyboards and really want one. But the only reason why I don't buy one is that I don't want to spend $400 on something that would arrive at my place 4 months later in the form of a bunch of disjointed pieces that I would have to put together using a soldering iron and other tools. Fuck that. The idea of paying that much money for something I have to build myself is weird to me. Just give me the option to buy a fully built one, and I'll buy it. Heck, I'm ready to pay even more if it's the only way to get one. I don't want to waste time putting it together.
I've been using a Keyboardio Atreus for the past year and and I love it, I am already used to the semi-split orthogonal layout. But I am missing both the wireless and the full-split features This iteration you have created seems the perfect fit for what I am looking for. I also do coding and gaming. I would love to build one for myself. Would you mind guiding me please? I sent discord friend request.
Case design is perfect! Looks like professional industrial design.

Appreciate it! I say go for it, it’s a lot of fun after the initial few days of frustration.
Gorgeous build, I keep coming back to just watch it haha
Thank you! Have you seen the wireless one? That’s the one I am still using.
one of the cool things to do for gaming is setting up the right side of the Corne on top of the left one getting easier access to numbers :)

you'll have to trim the number of frames in the config if you want it to fit on an atmega34u4
@@3.5.3 godspeeds thank you sir!
how much is it? please
I love it 🙆🏽♂️
how it looks with the backlight on?
There is no backlight
@@EIGAtech what about the keyboard weight? I heard that if the keyboard is lighter it maybe could move in forward direction when typing...
is that backspace and return 1.5u or 1.25u??
It’s 1.5!
I get batman vibes from the color.
Is the display configured from ZMK firmware?
Thanks! There is no display. Although check out the new nice!view ePaper displays. Might get some in the future!
@@EIGAtech will be waiting for that video.
Hi, good to hear gaming is still possible on this layout, I'm very tempted to go down this rabbit hole.
I really like the look of the design shown at the end. 4:50 ish in the video
Is there a breakdown somewhere of what was used for this build?
I find it odd that you move your fingers over to wasd for gaming. Isn't this very uncomfortable? Why not use the stagger correctly and use esdf?
This is ortholinear layout not stagerred layout.
an ortholinear keyboard has its keys aligned in a perfect grid. so the corne is in fact a columnar staggered keyboard.
Corne with chocs is way better for travel, half the thickness.
Hi, can you sell me one like that?
Impressive looks! May I ask which type of resin from JLCPCB was chosen for the case?
Thank you! It’s not a resin print but rather an SLS print (nylon).

aahh Destiny 2.... A man of culture I see
I'm really interested in these split keyboards and really want one. But the only reason why I don't buy one is that I don't want to spend $400 on something that would arrive at my place 4 months later in the form of a bunch of disjointed pieces that I would have to put together using a soldering iron and other tools. Fuck that. The idea of paying that much money for something I have to build myself is weird to me. Just give me the option to buy a fully built one, and I'll buy it. Heck, I'm ready to pay even more if it's the only way to get one. I don't want to waste time putting it together.
It annoys me that I can’t just buy keyboards like this as standard.
That would be great and I'm sure there's enough demand for something like a split ergo keyboard at a reasonable price.
So... the keycaps which are them? haha
I've been using a Keyboardio Atreus for the past year and and I love it, I am already used to the semi-split orthogonal layout. But I am missing both the wireless and the full-split features
This iteration you have created seems the perfect fit for what I am looking for. I also do coding and gaming. I would love to build one for myself. Would you mind guiding me please? I sent discord friend request.
Still uses qwerty
what's wrong with qwerty? 😥
How come keyboard enthusiast cant properly use 10 finger technique?! use your pinkies man!
Check out my upcoming video later today 👀
