Unable to connect to my Corne keyboard via bluetooth
I have been trying for a quite a while now to get my Corne connected to my computer using bluetooth with no luck. I know my device supports BLE as I have the "Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator" in my device manager. I have tried all available BT settings from the ZMK docs page with no luck.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble connecting via Bluetooth.
First, make sure you understand the ZMK pairing process. This involves profiles and bonds. Check out our guide: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/troubleshooting/keyboard-wont-pair
Also, ensure you're pairing to the left half. If still no luck, try pairing to a mobile phone to see if the issue is with your keyboard or computer.

I am able to pair and use my keyboard with my phone
Since you can pair with your phone, the issue is likely with your computer.
Make sure your computer supports at least BLE 4.2. Try updating your Bluetooth drivers. You might also try an alternate BLE card.

My device does supports BLE 4.2 and higher
Thanks for confirming.
Have you tried clearing the bond on both your computer and keyboard, then re-pairing? https://docs.typeractive.xyz/troubleshooting/keyboard-wont-pair
Also, try all five ZMK profiles, clearing the bond on each.

After some more troubleshooting I can now see "Corne" in the bluetooth devices on my computer but when I try to connect to it I get an error message saying "Try connecting your device again" I have gone through all BT profiles and cleared them multiple times
Thanks for the update. Since the computer sees the Corne, the connection issue might be related to interference or a corrupted Bluetooth cache.
1. Restart: Reboot both your keyboard (power cycle) and computer.
2. Distance: Ensure the keyboard is close to the computer during pairing.
3. Interference: Keep away from other wireless devices.
4. Bluetooth Troubleshooter: Run the Windows Bluetooth troubleshooter.
5. Driver Reinstall: Uninstall/reinstall your Bluetooth drivers.

ive uninstalled my drivers as well, rebooted both the board and my machine but I am still unable to pair the keyboard to my machine
Thanks for trying those steps.
Since basic troubleshooting hasn't worked, the issue may be deeper. Some users have had success with a USB Bluetooth dongle.
If that doesn't work, reach out to me again, and I can help further.
