cant flash firmware on MacOS
I made a new zmk keymap, and everytime I try to drag and drop it into the NICENANO drive or even move it with the terminal, I get this error: The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “corne_left nice_view_adapter nice_view-nice_nano_v2-zmk.uf2” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)...
Issues with mapping backspace in ZMK Studio
For some reason backspace will not work when added to any key using ZMK studio. Trying to work out why backspace is an issue. Using Windows and a wireless typeractive corne. I have the board plugged in via USB when mapping it. All other keycodes have worked just fine apart from backspace. Any ideas?
5 col vs 6 col
I'm new to Corne keyboards and to zmk. I've just built a 5 col Corne from Typeractive, and now looking to do the fun part, programming it. I see different methods in play. Joe Scotto says clone the repo, build it, and use the artifacts. Typeractive website provides compiled firmware, which I needed to use to get ZMK Studio to work wirelessly. The repo gives a keymap for a 6 col Corne. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Is the Lily58 enclosed case or sandwich style?
need to know before purchasing one, and how much time it takes inside usa?
Carry case suggestions
What cases do you guys use to carry your lily58 around? I’m tryna find a snug fit
Case Standoff Size: Mx vs. Choc
Do the sizes for the case standoffs differ for Mx vs. Choc switches? I recently assembled an Mx kit and the standoffs that were included seem to be too small to fasten the case together. Not sure if there are different sizes for the standoffs given the bigger switches or if this is just user error on my part.
Battery Issues on New Lily58
I can't seem to charge my Lily58's to over 90% and most times, not even over 80%. They seem to drop charge way faster than advertised (half a week for left side and a week and a half for the right side). They also erratically display random numbers for the battery when I turn them on and off. Sometimes the number goes up after an on off cycle. Sometimes it goes down. Is this normal?
Question about Corne version
Hey, I just want to educate myself before purchasing. What is the corne version?
Machine socket missing pin holder
I’m building my corne keyboard and I noticed that one of the hot socket pin holders for the nice!nabo is missing. Am I fucked? Do I need this it says GRD so I’m assuming it’s the ground pin 😐 my other one is fine
Does the no-solder hot swap need to be soldered on the board if ordered separately?
I am considering ordering a Corne custom board first with just an acrylic cover for the headers and then later ordering a no-solder hot swap and nice!view, are those able to be attached later without soldering? Thanks!
Corne homerow modes
How can I control the delay of tapping and holding homerow mods, right now if I tap a HRM and another key fast, non gets registered, or they get registered as a hold HRM + tap other key like shift + a.
First time order questions for Lily58
Hey, this is my first time looking into building a lily58 and was hoping to do the least amount of soldering as I've never tried before. There's a few questions I'm hoping to understand on my build
1. if I'm building only off typeractive with no external parts/company parts, are the batteries/nice!nano needed? If so, can I use it in wired mode only as I prefer wired keyboards
2. Does the no-solder hotswap option for the headers mean that I don't need to solder at all for this board? I'd be willing to give soldering a try with the Ez Solder Hotswap option but just looking to confirm if this board requires anymore soldering beyond the header
3. I'm assuming yes but just to confirm - is this board hotswappable?...
One position not registering key presses.
I went through the tutorial and got the keyboard up and running. I cannot get the standard "R" key(qwerty layout) to work. I have taken the board apart a few times, and swapped switches around. The "R" still does not respond to any input. Every other key is registering except for it.
nanos with No-solder headers falling out and DOA nice!views
Hi all. I have ordered and built the wireless corne with the no-solder headers and i currently have a problem where the mcu (along with the niceview) pops out when plugging out the usb c cable. The corne wireless itelfs is exceptional, except for the bluetooth range (and that one niceview was dead on arrival and the other has a fat line that cover a third of the screen.). Its kind of an inconvenience since i have to travel alot and the current alternative is to just keep off the mcu cover so that i can hold it down when unplugging. Does anyone have a recommendation on how i could fixate them without soldering? I'm totally fine if its a hacky solution like holding them down with rubber band or something. I have four other cornes (all wired) and am exremely happy with them all. Apart from the niceviews and the cumbersome mcu's that fall out im very happy!
Regarding the DOA and semi-working niceviews, i think i cant recommend them with the no solder headers since they keep falling off and are generally not secured enough to carry them around. I have contacted support to maybe get replacement niceviews but i'm thinking about asking for a refund instead since both niceviews are currently useless. Or at least get only one and keep in the peripheral side to see the battery while checking the other side's battery from my OS.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can recommend something!...

Replacing no solder headers with something that works
Hey! I was unfortunate enough to be talked into getting the no-solder headers when I ordered my Corne, and they've given me no end of trouble. They just constantly flake out, and I'm constantly having to try and squeeze the board back onto the headers through the cover, which is now coming loose as a result (requiring me to completely disassemble the keyboard in order to tighten the screws on the other side of the PCB). It's frankly a terrible experience, and I'm pretty disappointed that the Typeractive guys have decided to make that available as an option without at least emphatically warning customers first.
I decided to solder the boards in, but I've discovered that the headers provided are just the basic ones and the Typeractive website says they're not recommended and you should use a different kind ("We highly recommend using one of the other hotswap methods") — which seems extraordinary to me; why provide something that you don't recommend, without offering another viable option?
So my question is, what do I do now? Where do I get the correct headers so I can actually solder this on? Do I have to order them from Typeractive, or is there a standard part that I can get more locally? ...
presoldered headers
Hi ! I'm completely new to split keyboards and my soldering skills are... baasically non-existant. I was wondering if there was a pre-soldered lily58 variant with the headers and especially the LED soldered (I'm deeply afraid of surface mounted components).
Thanks a lot for your help and may I showcase my new keyboard soon !...
