Right Half Battery Percentage Drops from 100% to 85% Immediately After Unplugging

I'm experiencing an issue with my Corne (split) keyboard where the right half reports 100% battery while plugged in, but as soon as I unplug it, the battery percentage immediately drops to 85% within about a minute. Details: Right half behaviour:...

Lily58 won't connect to BT

Just today the keyboard will only connect to the PC via USB. It worked fine up until now

First lily58 build - no solder hotswap - wont turn on

Hi, I am able to drop firmware onto each side but no dice. When I toggle the keyboard off and then back on, I see two quick blue flashes and then nothing. Both sides. I can't find any information on this? Are both sides turning off immediately? Did I miss something obvious in the guide? Thanks

Is typeractive compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux?

I am looking forward to get the keyboard. Is it compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux?

Raw, 006, 008 pins broken

I’m moving a NiceNano from one PCB to another. I’m using the “EZ” solder hot swap headers. Turns out they are nearly impossible to unplug once connected, and despite using all the care in the world I was unable to get it removed without bending a couple of the pins. And of course in the process of straightening them they snapped off entirely. The pins that are broken are connected to raw, 006, and 008 on the nano. Are these important? GPT seems to think that they are actually not used, and I confess I can’t spot a trace connecting to them from the underside of the PCB, but when I try to power it on nothing happens. When I plug in via the USB cable the blue light comes on but I’m not seeing the red charging indicator which seems to indicate that it’s not connecting to the battery. Are these broken pins the culprit or is it something unrelated? I am desperately not looking forward to trying to desolder the headers from the nano 😭...

Tips for battery care using nice!nano

tips for battery care using nice!nano

2 nice!nanos died in a year

Just a bit of data for folks; no real question here. I got the corne keyboard that's on the typeractive.xyz front page - hypersonic keycaps, choc reds, nice!view and nice!nano v2's, aluminum case, etc. I got it last January. It's been great for the most part but when I got it, one of the rows didn't work and I had to get one of the nice!nanos replaced as a column died within a month. Since replacing, it's been fine. I use it as my primary keyboard at work (and it's a lot of fun) but now in Nov. another nice!nano just died (middle row) and I had to replace it again. I did several diagnosis steps: (1) there were no shorts on the board, (2) I swapped the nano from the other KB half and it received inputs from the PCB just fine, and (3) I swapped the no-solder pins between the sides with no change in functionality....

Lily58 wireless battery/power issue

Hey! Just finished putting together a Lily58 Wireless kit. For both batteries, I stripped the wires (as per guide I received) and connected to the B+ and B- pins. Each half also has a power switch. When plugging each half in, I can see the half in order to load the firmware and the lights on the half are active. When unplugging and using the power switch, nothing happens - no lights or anything showing on the screen. The soldering on each power switch looks ok to me so not sure it's a solder iss...

Keys on P1.15 Column on corne wireless presses for the whole row

Hey my corne early had the entire column not working. after looking through troubleshooting it seems like the solder is all good and I cleaned up the board a bit for debris and then unseated and reseated the nice!nano. That seems to have gotten the keys to work again but they are now pressing for the whole row

Ordered replacement Corne PCB, soldered it up. It's a totally different size!

I emailed this as well, but I thought I'd post it here in case the AI can give me a quick answer. I ordered a replacement Corne PCB because of some dramas that happened with the last one which I ordered in May - the NiceNano died inexplicably mid-session and I tried to desolder it, with catastrophic results to the PCB. (I'd originally ordered the no solder headers, but they were appallingly bad and the board was failing constantly, so I just soldered the Nanos in with the headers that came with them.) New PCB arrived today, and I’ve soldered it up with the EZ solder hotswap headers. So far so good: but when I went to insert the PCB in the premium case, I realised it’s a completely different size! It's much bigger than the original PCB, and doesn't fit the case. What gives! What now?...

My corne doesnt register key presses

Im having trouble with my corne that doesnt want to register key presses. I have flashed it and i can connect to the studio via usb. I cant connect to bluetooth and i cant press any buttons at all to reset it. The nice!view with the counter isnt showing anything either.

Is my nice!nano done?

The nice!nano acts normally, but when I try an move a new uf2 file to the board it acts as if it took the file then stays on the old uf2. There is no error on completion. I tried reflashing with adafruit-nfutil and that ran successfully but still no change when moving a new uf2 file.

Keys on the left side stopped working

The two leftmost rows stopped working as well as all the keys on the thumbcluster. I have been using the keyboard for a month / month and a half with no issues. Untill very recently where the bluethooth stopped working , i started using the keyboard with a cable in the meantime of finding a solution. But now a week after that issue , the keys are not working. i have the no solder , i reseated the nice nano and checked every pin , and tried to reflash the firmware numerous times , the keyboard is still unusable. ...

Enter key doesn't work, and diode seems to be broken?

My enter key suddenly stopped working on my lily58. I noticed on the bottom of the PCB, there appears to be a broken diode? Is this the cause? Do i need to replace this by re-soldering a new one, and if so, where can I get one?

Pretty sure one of my nanos has a problem

Hi! I've been using my Corne for about a month now with no problems and today in the middle of typing the rightmost column of the right half stopped working. It intermitently came back and went again. I gave the keys a bit of a push in case it was a bad contact and since then the column never worked again. I've done all of this: - Check continuity about 10 times, all columns, all rows, columns to pins, both sides of the pin, ... - Checked under the microscope, all solder joints looked good...

Left nice!view showing pixels while right works fine on no solder Lily58

Recently ordered wireless lily58 with nice!nano v2 , & nice!view, both with no solder spring headers. Once assembled, I noticed the left nice!view shows pixels while the right shows image. I already flashed firmware multiple times, reset the firmware and it still doesn't work. I also can't get the halves to connect to each other. The left side has a blue blinking light if that's helpful. What else can I do to fix this?

Troubleshooting a dead Nice!Nano

My left half suddenly stopped working mid-typing (no physical knock or stress). The red charge LED still comes on when plugged in via USB-C, but there’s no blue LED, no bootloader when double-tapping reset, and the board doesn’t show up as a USB device. I’ve: • Disconnected the battery and tested USB-only • Reflowed every joint (both the Nano and the header pins)...

Thumbs keys from left half stopped working AGAIN.

Around a month ago I've created a post related to an issue that started to happen in my Bluetooth Corne: The thumbs from the left half suddenly stopped working: https://discord.com/channels/924164891990978570/1411162433963294811 At the time I removed the micro controller to investigate the issue and noticed that for some reason the pin 011 was not getting current. As I was used to charge it with a magsafe style magnetic charger I accepted the fact that perhaps that could have caused a damage to this pin on the chip or something like that and ordered a new nine!nano....

Keys in one column trigger all keys in that row

On the left half of my 6 column corne I suddenly got this problem: When I press any of the keys in the column of pin P0.29 (QAZ) I get the keys left 5 keys of that row. So when I press Q I recieve TAB,Q,W,E and R. I can't see any obvious defect soldering joint and also no short. Does anyone have an idea how to debug this?
