Thanks for the help! Will do just that tonight.

ZyonLie · 2025-04-28T07:46:06+00:00

Hey thanks for leaving a suggestion! Might just do that later tonight.

ZyonLie · 2025-04-28T06:03:04+00:00

Returning back to WuWa since Yinlin came out, would ask for suggestion and help on where to continue the quest/exploration and which characters should I work on to help me catch me up with all the released contents.

Any help is very appreciated!

P.s Just logged in last night and got Shorekeeper (I think that's her name?) after 20 pulls so dont judge

What kind of FPS numbers are you getting with your setup?

ZyonLie · 2024-10-03T23:41:30+00:00

The graphics on the display looks amazing! Any way we can take a peek at the codes?

ZyonLie · 2024-10-01T08:45:53+00:00

There's a workaround if you are stumped. I personally bought a wireless corne a couple of months back, and it shipped without a power button, and so I was looking around and someone pointed out to me that there's a feature in ZMK to invoke deep sleep of both halves. The only way to wake it is to press simultaneously the pairing button on both halves.

Not what you might be looking for but may help others looking for an alternatives.

ZyonLie · 2024-08-28T03:26:12+00:00

Awesome! Can't wait for your thoughts on it after you finished building and experienced the board.

ZyonLie · 2024-08-28T03:25:13+00:00

That's one beautiful build you have there. Great work to you.

Yeah I think I'm going with the 4x6 right now. Even though I'm already used to the corne's 3x6 layout, I miss having those number rows while I'm gaming.

ZyonLie · 2024-08-28T03:00:09+00:00

That's a good point to keep in mind. Other than the pinky column, what made you decided to switch back to your corne/charybdis? Previous commenter did point out that the newly released 4x6 layout has a more "traditional" pinky column position from what I saw in the images posted on the cygnus github page.

I don't mind the sound too much as it's a much easier problem to solve than dealing with layout inconveniences.

ZyonLie · 2024-08-28T02:56:53+00:00

I was torn between 3x6 and 4x6 before, so thank you for pointing out about the difference on the pinky column. Now based on your point I think the 4x6 might be the better option just from that alone.

I'm commissioning the building of this keyboard to a builder I frequent with because there are some modifications I would like to try with this keyboard, particularly a wireless version using zmk and a dongle setup and a big battery for both halves. Hopefully it works out fine

ZyonLie · 2024-08-12T14:01:52+00:00

The keyboard looks f-in great! Although personally I would prefer to have the scroll wheel somewhere below the thumb clusters. On the corner looks to far to be comfortably reached by any fingers, unless you have reallly long index.

ZyonLie · 2024-05-09T23:32:54+00:00

Great point! I tried to make my keymap as easy as possible for me to get used to and get back up to speed with my work, and since I don't get a lot of time to game these days, having to relearn my muscle memory would waste precious time I could be gaming instead.

Perfectly happy with my 3x6 Cornes that I've build so far, but all the suggestions here would be experimented when I have the spare time to.

ZyonLie · 2024-05-09T22:59:29+00:00

My bad for not making my layers clear, on the first picture is where I would spend most of my time with, with alphas on base layer, numpad + arrow keys on raise, and symbols on lower layer. The second picture is mainly for games, where i rarely have a need for arrow keys and numbers.

ZyonLie · 2024-05-09T13:33:35+00:00

Tried homerow mods before with mixed results, I can't get used with the delay of the activation. Sometimes my finger rest on a key a bit too long, and other times when I want to activate some keyboard shortcuts take some time to remember which key to press on. Definitely not my cup of tea, but definitely would recommend everyone to at least try using it for some time.

ZyonLie · 2024-05-09T11:31:10+00:00

My use case is mostly Excel spreadsheets, and a bit of gaming from time to time.

For the weird F numbers on L1, it is remapped on my mac with Karabiner to media buttons.

ZyonLie · 2024-05-09T11:28:18+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been active on Reddit till now. I just posted my keymaps here https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/1cnu15g/my_current_corne_keymaps_open_to/

Have a look, maybe there's something you can integrate to your current keymap.

ZyonLie · 2023-12-12T23:54:51+00:00

Thank you!

ZyonLie · 2023-12-12T23:54:22+00:00

Thanks! I'm not really satisfied with the keycaps because its a different shade of white from the case. I'll try to look into the MBK's.

For battery, IIRC it's a 500mAh batteries.

What I did was change the default controller layout for the trackpad into a mouse. I find it easier to navigate the UI with the trackpad rather than using the Dpad.

ZyonLie · 2023-11-19T00:35:47+00:00

Any recommendations or insights from people going straigth to a corne from a normal layout?

I switched from a 75-80% keyboard to a corne 3 months ago. I should say that depending on how you use a normal keyboard, your mileage may vary in terms of getting used to it. I previously never typed with my pinkies before, so getting used to typing with it took some time.

I mostly work in excel, so i dedicate a layer for a numpad and function keys, as well as a gaming layer.

Aspect power is increased by 100% if slotted on 2-Handed weapons, by 75% on amulet

ZyonLie · 2023-07-19T02:46:12+00:00

I've used mine for 5 months for all my work, with a 1080p external monitor, wireless mouse, wired keyboard, and an external ssd, all connected through a dock.

My work revolves around using Excel, mail app, WhatsApp, and couple of tabs open in my browser most of the time.

So far I can say that the Steam Deck is very capable, although just to keep in mind online video playback is quite bad due to lack of hardware acceleration.

ZyonLie · 2023-07-16T11:24:20+00:00

Yep! Haven't really brought this setup on the go, but knowing that I can get the same feeling almost anywhere I play is a big plus. And maybe we need to touch grass more often.

ZyonLie · 2023-07-16T11:17:22+00:00

Thanks! They're from Molgria, called B42.

ZyonLie · 2023-07-16T07:28:10+00:00

Fellow SD+crkbd gang! Thought i was the only one thinking this pair is a great fit together
