Right side paired but doesn't seem to work
The left side seems to work fine and the right shows as paired.
The right side doesn't register any key press though.
I tried the reset firmware and then the test files again.
I have reset both and they consistently pair.
I was able to get the Keyboard to pair with a laptop and the right side still did not appear to register any keystrokes.
I also tried while the left was plugged in on another system.
I also tried the right controller on the left side to rule out something odd with the controller. (including resetting and re-flashing the test firmware)
The left side continued to work fine and the right only pairs and doesn't to work beyond that.

I searched previous Q&A and ZMK docs but I have not been able to figure out what is wrong.
Also Worth nothing when using the reset firmware the right side worked fine.
the right side only pairs with the left… from your wording it sounds like you’re trying to connect directly to the right side which doesn’t output anything on its own
correct me if I’m mistaken from reading your messages
but yeah you need to pair the left half and then just turn on the right side
The right side is paired with the left. When the left is paired with a laptop or when plugged in to a computer the right side doesn't recognize keystrokes.
can you enable USB logging on the left half and see what output you get
see if the right half is pairing and sending key presses over
Okay, I can try that. I was also going to verify connectivity for each of the controller's pins. I did order another controller just in case and as an additional troubleshooting effort.
Though I am pretty sure I swapped reset and flashed and the left side worked with the right controller. I will reconfirm that as well.
I enabled USB logging and was able to confirm the right keyboard is registering every keypress when the right side is plugged in. However, when monitoring the left side over usb with the right side showing as paired it does not register keypresses. I also see an interesting error when the right keyboard is turned on. Is it possibe it is not pairing correctly. (despite showing like it is on the nice view as pictured in my initial pictures)
do you have logs for the left half?
oh this is left side!
I see interesting
... I'm wondering if another go at putting on the reset firmware will clear out any weird saved bonds between the two halves
I was actually just about to try another reset
Well I have it working both left and right halves. Now I just have to go back to usb logging disabled fw.
That was an interesting journey. This is my first split I have assembled but I have been working on a lot of ESP32 projects as of late.
Thanks for the tips on the USB logging.
resetting once again seems to have been the cure
glad we got it figured out 🙏
