The Corne keyboard is designed to be a wireless keyboard, and it requires batteries to function properly. However, you can use it with a USB cable connected to the nice!nano for power. This will allow you to use the keyboard while waiting for your batteries to arrive.
Just make sure to connect the USB cable to the nice!nano, and you should be able to use the keyboard without any issues. Once your batteries arrive, you can install them and enjoy the full wireless functionality.

How do i Connect it? Do i just connect both usb-c cables to the computer?
No, do not connect both halves to the computer at the same time.
To use the Corne with a cable, connect a single USB-C cable from your computer to the left half of the keyboard. The left half is the one that handles the communication.
Once you have the batteries, remember to turn the power switch on to charge.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
How does the right side get power then?
That's a great question!
When the Corne is in wireless mode, the right side communicates wirelessly with the left side, which is connected to your computer via Bluetooth.
However, when you're using a USB cable connected to the left side, the right side still needs power to communicate with the left side. In this case, the two halves communicate wirelessly using BLE, but the right side still needs a battery to operate.
I hope this clarifies things! Let me know if you have any other questions.
