Left thumb keys not working
It sounds like you've already tried some good troubleshooting steps! Since you're using the no-solder headers, it's less likely to be a soldering issue, but it could still be related to the connection.
Here are a few more things to check based on the documentation:
1. Check the nice!nano seating: Even with no-solder headers, ensure the nice!nano is firmly pushed down into the headers. The pins should be slightly peeking out.
2. Check the nice!view seating: If you have a nice!view, make sure it's also firmly seated in its headers.
3. Check the battery wire: Ensure the battery wire isn't interfering with the nice!nano or nice!view seating. The wire should slide between the nice!view socket and the inner nice!nano socket. You can find more details in the Batteries guide.
4. Check for bent pins: Although you're using no-solder headers, it's worth double-checking the pins on the nice!nano itself to make sure none are bent.
5. Check the switches: While you've checked the connections, try swapping the left thumb keyswitches with known working switches from another part of the keyboard to rule out faulty switches.
6. Check the hotswap sockets: Even with no-solder headers, the hotswap sockets are still soldered to the PCB. While less likely to be the issue, you could visually inspect the solder joints on the back of the PCB for those specific sockets to ensure they look good.
Since you mentioned that pushing down the acrylic protection sometimes helped in the past, it might indicate a slight pressure issue with the nice!nano or nice!view seating.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it might be a more complex hardware problem. You can find more troubleshooting tips on our Troubleshooting page.
Let me know if you try these and still have issues! You can reply to this message or tag me for further assistance.

nice!viewpins
I can help with that! The documentation doesn't cover changing the default pins for the nice!view. The build guides show which pins are used for the nice!view on the Corne and Lily58.
For the Corne, the nice!view uses P0.06, P0.17, and P0.20.
For the Lily58, the nice!view uses P0.06, P0.17, and P0.20.
If you need further assistance with modifying the firmware beyond the default configuration, I recommend checking the ZMK documentation or reaching out to the ZMK community.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Bluetooth connection issues, then stopped entering bootloader
Thanks for letting me know you've already reviewed those guides.
Since you're still having trouble entering the bootloader even after trying the troubleshooting steps, and the blue light behavior is unusual, it might indicate a deeper issue. The Nice Keyboards guide linked in our documentation under "Unable to Enter Bootloader" is the next step for trying to re-flash the bootloader itself.
If you've exhausted those options and are still unable to get the nice!nano into the bootloader or resolve the Bluetooth issue, it's possible there's a hardware problem with the nice!nano itself.
Please let me know if you'd like to explore any of these possibilities further.

Bluetooth connection issues, then stopped entering bootloader
It sounds like you're having trouble with both Bluetooth connectivity and entering the bootloader on your nice!nano.
For the Bluetooth issue, the Keyboard Won't Pair troubleshooting guide in our documentation explains the ZMK pairing process and common issues. It might be helpful to review the section on understanding ZMK profiles and how to clear bonds.
Regarding the bootloader issue, the behavior you're describing with the blue light is unusual. The Entering the Bootloader guide has steps for flashing new firmware and troubleshooting if you're unable to enter the bootloader, including trying a different USB cable or device. It also links to a guide from Nice Keyboards for more advanced bootloader troubleshooting.
Please let me know if going through those guides helps or if you have any other questions! You can reply to this message or tag me for further assistance.

Can a 301235 battery fit
Based on our documentation, the Corne Wireless is designed to fit a 301230 battery underneath the nice!nano. A 301235 battery is slightly larger (3.0mm x 12mm x 35mm vs 3.0mm x 12mm x 30mm).
While a 401230 might fit, it's a tight fit. A 301235 is longer than a 301230, so it might not fit comfortably or at all.

Doesnt fit well on the case
Since your keyboard pairs successfully with your phone and Linux, the issue is almost certainly with your Windows machine's Bluetooth connection.
Here are some Windows-specific troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Remove and re-add the keyboard in Windows Bluetooth settings: Go to Bluetooth & other devices, find your keyboard, remove it, and then try pairing again.
2. Clear the Bluetooth cache in Windows: This is a bit more advanced and involves the Windows Registry. Search online for "clear Windows Bluetooth cache" for instructions, but be cautious when editing the registry.
3. Disable and re-enable your Bluetooth adapter: In Device Manager, find your Bluetooth adapter, right-click to disable it, and then re-enable it.
4. Run the Windows Bluetooth troubleshooter: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters, and run the Bluetooth troubleshooter.
If none of these steps work, it might indicate a deeper issue with your Windows Bluetooth hardware or drivers that may require further investigation or potentially a different Bluetooth adapter.

Doesnt fit well on the case
It sounds like you're having trouble pairing your right half to Windows, even though it's connected to your left half and works on Linux.
The right half connects to the left half, and the left half connects to your computer. Since it works on Linux, the issue is likely with your Windows setup rather than the keyboard itself.
Here are a few things to try on your Windows machine:
1. Ensure your device supports BLE 4.2+: ZMK requires at least this version.
2. Try a different USB cable: Sometimes a faulty cable can cause connection issues.
3. Update Bluetooth drivers: Make sure your Windows Bluetooth drivers are up to date.
4. Try an alternate BLE card: If possible, test with a different Bluetooth adapter.

How tall are the standoffs used for the PCB
Yes, that would indicate the standoffs are 7mm in length. The "M2" refers to the thread size.

The documentation doesn't specify the exact height of the standoffs used for the PCB. It only mentions that the case pack comes with ten standoffs and twenty-one screws.

You're right, the length of the screws included with the standard case might not be sufficient to go through the plate, PCB, case, and into the standoff.
Looking at the documentation again, it seems I was mixing up the process slightly.
For the standard case, you screw the standoffs into the back of the PCB. Then you place the PCB into the case. The screws then go through the plate and into the standoffs that are already attached to the PCB. The case is held in place by the pressure of the plate and PCB assembly.
The holes in the case are likely just for alignment and to allow the screws to pass through to reach the standoffs on the PCB.
My apologies for the confusion! The documentation for the standard case assembly is at https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/case.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

You are absolutely right to question that! My apologies, I misspoke.
For the standard case, the screws do go through the case. You screw the standoffs into the back of the PCB. Then you place the PCB into the case. The holes in the case line up with the standoffs. You then put the plate on top and screw through the plate, PCB, and case into the standoffs.
The video in the case guide at https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/case shows this process.
Thank you for catching my mistake! Let me know if that's clearer.

Those holes in the standard case are for the screws to pass through from the plate and PCB assembly to reach the standoffs that are attached to the back of the PCB.
Essentially, the screw goes through the plate, then the PCB, and finally into the standoff which is screwed into the back of the PCB. The case has cutouts for these screws to go through.
Hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Ah, I see the confusion! The standoffs screwed into the back of the PCB are what the screws from the plate thread into. This holds the plate and PCB assembly together.
The case itself is held in place by the pressure of the plate and PCB assembly sitting inside it, and then the bumpons on the bottom of the case help prevent it from sliding around.
The premium case has a different assembly method where the PCB sits inside the case and the backplate is screwed on. But for the standard case, the standoffs are attached to the PCB.
Does that clear things up?

Thanks for clarifying it's an MX Corne! For the standard case, you actually screw the standoffs into the back of the PCB first, not the case.
Then, you place the PCB with the standoffs attached into the case. Finally, you put the plate on top and use the screws to go through the plate and PCB into the standoffs.
The video in the case guide shows this process: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/case

Thanks for the picture! It looks like you have the standoffs on the wrong side of the PCB. The standoffs should be screwed into the back side of the PCB (the side without the components like the nice!nano and hotswap sockets).
Once the standoffs are on the back, you'll place the plate on the front of the PCB, and then the screws will go through the plate and PCB into the standoffs from the front.
Here's the relevant step in the case guide: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/case#screw-in-the-standoffs

Hmm, that's strange. The screws provided in the case kit should be long enough to go through the plate and PCB and into the standoffs.
Could you double-check that you're using the screws from the case kit and not another part of the build? For the standard case, you'll use the flat-head screws.
If you are using the correct screws and they still aren't reaching, could you send a picture of how you have the plate, PCB, and standoffs assembled? That might help me see what's going on.
You can also refer back to the case installation video in the guide: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/case

That's correct! Screw the standoffs into the PCB first. Then, place the switch plate on top of the PCB, aligning the switch cutouts. The screws for the case will then go through the plate and the PCB and thread into the standoffs.
Here's the case guide again for reference: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/case

Yes, you should put the switch plate on the PCB before inserting it into the case. The screws go through the plate, then the PCB, and into the standoffs.
If the screws aren't reaching the standoffs, double-check that the standoffs are fully screwed into the PCB. Also, make sure you're using the correct screws for the case (they should be the flat-head ones for the standard case).

It sounds like you might be trying to screw the PCB directly into the case without the standoffs. The screws go through the PCB and into the standoffs, which then attach to the case.
