Corne Wireless Partially Assembled PCB

Beware when buying the mist expensive controller option, the no solder hot swappable ones. They are 1mm taller than the solder connectors and that makes the controller sit too high and not fit in the hole to connect the usb c. Had to use the provided solder connectors even though I payed for the hot swappable ones

Board was in great shape, instructions were clear and easy to follow. 10/10 would recommend.

Corne keyboard is great, all parts came exactly as ordered, with appropriate quality and packaging. I ordered the non-solder pieces as I didn't have any soldering equipment, and parts worked perfectly. Build guide had separate sections for solder vs non-solder parts, but non-solder descriptions had no images, so it was difficult to determine which non-solder hotswap parts the instructions were referring to (though once I did, everything went fine). Entire assembly took less than an hour, and keyboard works great. A carrying case would be nice for portability, as I have to replace the acrylic cover due to scratches (no fault of typeractive, i just huck them in my bag).

I'm giving this 5 stars because it's awesome. The people at the company and in the discord are awesome. I had no soldering experience and people online made it look and sound way too easy, but thankfully when I reached out with issues the people at the company directed me to the troubleshooting guide which made it apparent that my issues were typical due to my lack of experience. I had an issue with connection that was solved by 2 config commands i found online as directed by the discord. Overall extremely awesome community and experience, but I do recommend a little more of a warning "Hey if you've never done this before, even though it looks super easy online, don't just watch the Joe Scotto's video and think it'll be a 20 minute walk in the park". For me it was "Oh wow i totally messed this whole thing up" then i learned the basics of soldering and it was fine.

I just ordered the partially assembled pcb, which was made very well with no faulty connections or traces. It came out great, and the documentation was so helpful for setting up a customized version of zmk as well as general assembly and troubleshooting. For the price, this is very hard to beat. I would have loved to see an engineering diagram/scaled svg or a 3d file of the pcb for purposes of designing cases, though I may just have not been able to find it
