Device recognized over USB but not bluetooth
Just trying with the left half of my new corne since I have some desoldering to do on the right. I am able to connect over USB and even paired to bluetooth while connected to USB but when I unplug it nothing happens. It also seems to go into the bootloader and mount as a disk with only one press instead of two. Pretty sure everything is soldered fine and without shorts.

Hi there! It sounds like you're running into a power issue when unplugged and a bootloader behavior that's not quite right.
1. Power Check: The most common reason for a wireless keyboard not working when unplugged is the battery or power switch.
* Ensure your battery is properly connected to the JST jack.
* Make sure the power switch on the PCB is turned on (pushed up). The nice!nano won't power on or charge the battery if it's off. More details here: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/batteries
2. Bootloader Behavior: The nice!nano should require a double-tap of the reset button to enter the bootloader. If it's entering with a single press, it might indicate a firmware issue or a problem with the reset button itself. You can find more info on entering the bootloader here: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/troubleshooting/entering-bootloader
3. Bluetooth Pairing: If power is confirmed, review the ZMK pairing process. Even if paired via USB, issues can arise. ZMK uses profiles, and sometimes a bond needs to be cleared. Check out our guide on pairing issues: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/troubleshooting/keyboard-wont-pair
Please check these points, especially the power switch and battery connection. Let me know if you have any other questions or if these steps help!

Is there a way to clear all bluetooth without a working keyboard?
Well I mounted the nice nano upside down. I guess the next batch should work.
