Issues getting Corne wirless to connect through bluetooth on Linux?
I can't seem to get my corne keyboard to connect on arch linux. It struggles to even show up on the list of devices and when it does it fails to connect and then disappears until I do a hard reset on my pc. Also it seems like when I do the double tap to reset the nice!nano v2 controllers it does nothing?

The keyboard does work in wired mode just can't connect via bluetooth for some reason
Hi Koga. I configured my wireless corne on ArchLinux yesterday and faced some issues at first. I am not sure you are facing the same issue but mine was related to dual boot pairing. This issue is described in the ZMK documentation: https://zmk.dev/docs/troubleshooting/connection-issues#:~:text=Since%20ZMK%20associates%20pairing%2Fbond,system%20at%20the%20same%20time (see "Issues With Dual Boot Setups").

To fix my issues I first build a reset firmware as decribed in the documentation (not sure this is useful though)
And then followed the instruction from this page: https://hoelter.prose.sh/kinesis-advantage-360-bluetooth-dualboot

The issue is also described in the Archlinux documention there: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth#Dual_boot_pairing
use bluetoothctl
Thank you Ekko I'm gonna take a look at this. I also saw in the arch Linux forums that I may need to downgrade to kernel version 6.12
I am dual booting I didn't think that would be the cause of my problems
I never faced any issues with bt on arch Linux
I'm on the latest kernel
latest update
Good to know I don't have to downgrade lol
6.16?
6.16.7
Most BT GUI's are so jank on Linux, do it in CLI and you'll have some next steps or even the problem solved
FYI I am also using the latest kernel/update. I also used the bluetoothctl CLI to pair the corne.
Ive been using bluetooth cli combined with blueberry for the gui because using the le scan mode is super verbose so I don't think that's the issue. It has to be the dual boot
Thank you for the insight
I'm going to check it out after school today
@Ekko So wouldn't this be only if I was using windows as well? I am on dual boot but I haven't even opened up windows yet to dual boot it
I can't even see my keyboard on bluetoothctl most of the time it just doesn't show up
Just remove windows then
and see if it fixes
Ok so 1 I found out that the main reason the keyboard wasn't even showing up was actually just signal loss
I got antennas for my motherboard's bluetooth and now I have no issues with it showing up
but now I can trust the keyboard, it attempts to connect but for some reason it won't stick on the profiles
Ok nvm I got it working completely just had to completely remove the keyboard and repair
