Aluminum corne lag
I have 3d printed corne from aliexpress, and a premium corne from typeractive. I usually have a trackpad, or trackball mouse between my keyboards.
I only notice lag with the typeractive corne, the other one works just fine without any issues. If I remove the mouse from between then the keyboard works just fine.
Is this normal, and is it due to the aluminium case?

It's possible the aluminum case is contributing to the signal interference you're experiencing. Metal cases can sometimes attenuate wireless signals, making them more susceptible to interference from other devices, like your trackpad or trackball mouse.
To help improve the wireless range and stability, you can try adjusting some settings in your ZMK firmware:
1. Increase Transmit Power: Add
CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8=y to your ZMK .conf file. This boosts the signal strength.
2. Disable 2M PHY: Add CONFIG_BT_CTLR_PHY_2M=n to your ZMK .conf file. While 2M PHY offers higher speed, it can reduce range. Disabling it can improve connection stability, including between the two keyboard halves.
