Charging cable requirement
Hi there!
You can use the Logitech MX Keys Mini charging cable for your Corne. There are no specific requirements for the charging cable, as long as it's a USB-C cable.
Using the Logitech cable should not cause any issues in the long run.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Corne 6 Column with premium case has random delay in communicating the key press to the computer
That sounds frustrating! Let's troubleshoot the delay.
First, try increasing the transmit power. Add
CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8=y
to your ZMK .conf
file. See if that helps! https://docs.typeractive.xyz/troubleshooting/poor-range
If not, try disabling 2M PHY by adding CONFIG_BT_CTLR_PHY_2M=n
to your ZMK .conf
file.
If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps here: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/troubleshooting/keyboard-wont-pair

No solder spring header installation
Hey there!
For the no-solder headers, insert them into the PCB by pushing on the plastic part until it's flush with the PCB.
The length of the pins shouldn't matter since it's no solder.
Check out the guide here: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/nice-nano

Corne 6col is not detected as a drive when connected via USB
Try double-tapping the reset button to enter the bootloader. Then, drag and drop the

drive.
If double-tapping doesn't work, see this guide: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/troubleshooting/entering-bootloader

Charged Corne 6col overnight and battery is never above 68
The reported battery percentage isn't accurate, it's an estimate based on the battery's voltage. It may not reach 100%, and that's okay as long as it gets to ~80%.
Make sure the power switch is on while charging. Charging takes around two hours per side.
See our Batteries guide for more info.
If it's still not working, reply or tag me for more help!

nice!nanoβs not charging my batteries.
It sounds like you've done some great troubleshooting already!
First, make sure the power switch is on while charging. The nice!nano won't charge the battery if the switch is off.
If that doesn't work, it's possible the batteries you got from Amazon have the polarity reversed. This can prevent charging. Compare the polarity of your new batteries to the ones we sell to ensure they match.
If the polarity is correct and the switch is on, it's possible there's an issue with the charging circuit on the nice!nano.
Let me know if any of these steps help! If not, tag me again, and we can explore replacement options.

Nice!view not working with one of my nanos
It sounds like you've done a great job troubleshooting! Since the issue follows the nice!nano, it does seem like the board itself may be the problem.
Here are a few more things to check:
* Inspect the nice!nano: Look for any visible damage or misplaced components.
* Reflash: Try flashing the ZMK firmware again.
* Check ZMK config: Ensure
CONFIG_ZMK_DISPLAY=y
is in your zmk.conf
file.
If none of these work, it's likely a hardware issue with the nice!nano. Please reply or tag me if you need further assistance.7 replies

Keyboard not working.
It sounds like there are a few separate issues here. Let's try to tackle them one at a time.
1. Split Halves Connection:
* See if the Split Halves Won't Connect guide helps.
2. Few Keys Working:
* This sounds like a hardware issue. See the Row(s) or Column(s) Not Working guide.
3. nice!view Issues:
* Make sure they're properly seated in their sockets.
* Try reflashing the firmware with the nice!view version.
Let me know if any of these steps help! If not, feel free to reply or tag me for further assistance.

Row and column of Corne stopped working
That sounds frustrating! It's likely a hardware issue.
First, identify the nice!nano pins for the affected row/column using this guide: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/troubleshooting
Then, check the solder joints on those pins and inspect for any shorts. The Adafruit Soldering Guide can help.
If the issue persists, reach out again, and I'll do my best to assist!

To reflow the solder, carefully reheat each pin on the nice!nano with your soldering iron, adding a tiny bit of new solder if needed. This ensures good connections. Be cautious not to overheat and damage the board.
Regarding a discount code, I'm unable to provide those. However, I can pass your feedback to the team.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

It sounds like you've isolated the issue to the nice!nano itself.
Unfortunately, diagnosing specific component failures on the nice!nano is difficult without specialized equipment.
Given that you've confirmed the nice!nano is the problem by swapping it and re-flashing, replacement is likely the best course of action.
You can try reflowing the solder joints on the nice!nano, but it's unlikely to fix the issue.
Let me know if you need help with anything else!

1 column of lily58 not working
Okay, it sounds like you have a short somewhere.
Since multiple columns are triggering, focus on potential shorts near the P0.02 pin and the affected keys' hotswap sockets. Carefully inspect for solder bridges or debris.
For the non-functional top row (P0.24), check for similar shorts or breaks in the trace.
Use your multimeter in continuity mode to check for unintended connections between P0.02, P0.24, and adjacent components.
If you still can't find the short, tag me or reply to this message!

A column not working is usually a hardware issue. Since you've ruled out the nice!nano, focus on the PCB.
Check the Lily58 troubleshooting guide to identify the pin for the column.
Inspect the hotswap sockets and diodes for that column. Even with solder-free headers, ensure the socket makes good contact.
Use your multimeter to check for continuity along the column's trace on the PCB. Also, check for shorts between the column pin and adjacent components.

Left half of wireless Corne won't turn on
It sounds like you've done a thorough job so far!
The battery polarity is likely the issue. It's not standardized, and an incorrectly polarized battery will prevent the board from turning on.
See the battery guide for more info. Under "International Customers," there are tips for sourcing batteries and ensuring correct polarity.

Connecting to Linux machine
Sorry you're having trouble pairing your Corne!
First, ensure your Linux machine supports at least BLE 4.2.
Since it pairs with other devices, the issue might be with the device name. ZMK uses "profiles" for pairing. Is the profile active and unpaired? See this guide for more info: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/troubleshooting/keyboard-wont-pair
Also, try pairing with a phone to see if the issue is specific to your Linux machine.
Let me know if that helps! If not, tag me after trying those steps.

German layout
Hi! Happy to help with your German layout.
It sounds like you've followed the ZMK locale guide. Let's try a couple of things:
1. Verify
keys_de.h
: Double-check that @
, []
, and |
are correctly mapped in your keys_de.h
file.
2. Keymap Layer: Ensure the layer with these characters is active when you're trying to use them.
3. Check your ZMK config: Ensure that the correct layout is configured.
If you're still stuck, can you share your corne.keymap
(or lily58.keymap
) file? I can take a look.
You can also find more help in the ZMK documentation: https://zmk.dev/docs/user-setup
