So I’m just getting started, and have ordered a corne kit from keebd.com, and nice!nanos, hoping to make it wireless.

As far as I can tell, the board doesn’t seem to be modified to have pads for the battery or a power switch or anything. I’m pretty sure that’s fine and the current draw when it’s not is use is low enough that it’ll still last a while, and I can just solder the battery straight to the nice!nano, but is that right?

Also, I’d quite like to use the nice!view, but from what I can see there isn’t space for that on the corne, only a 4-pin header for an OLED screen. Is there a way to use the nice!view?

Do you have any other advice for a wireless corne? I saw someone mention not to plug the TRRS in, or it fries the battery. Is there anything else I should be mindful of that I might not know?

(Also, first lemmy post!)

    I absolutely agree. there is someone selling the old version of etsy, so that might be a cheaper option. You could also have the old version fabricated yourself - that’s probably the cheapest option (besides bodges).
