❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's included in the package?
A: Kit options include 3D printed case, PCB with switches pre-soldered (hot-swap), mounting plate, and TRS cable. You need to provide your own switches, keycaps, and USB Type-C cable. Full assembled options include everything except the USB Type-C cable - switches and keycaps are pre-installed.
Q: Do I need to know how to solder?
A: No soldering required! The keyboard features hot-swappable sockets, so you can simply push switches in and pull them out to swap them. Perfect for beginners.
Q: What switches are compatible?
A: The hot-swap sockets support standard MX-style switches including Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, and other MX-compatible switches. The full assembled versions come with Outemu Silent Linear V3 switches.
Q: Can I customize the key layout?
A: Yes! The keyboard runs VIAL/QMK firmware which allows complete customization of key functions, layers, macros, and RGB lighting through easy-to-use software.
Q: Is this keyboard good for gaming?
A: While designed primarily for typing comfort and productivity, the Corne can be used for gaming. The programmable layers allow you to create custom gaming layouts. However, the 42-key layout may require adjustment if you're used to traditional keyboards.
Q: What about the 3D printed case quality?
A: The cases are made using quality 3D printing. While sturdy and functional, they may have minor surface imperfections typical of 3D printed products (slight layer lines, small variations in texture). This is normal and doesn't affect functionality.
Q: How do I connect the two halves?
A: The two keyboard halves connect using the included TRS cable (similar to a headphone cable). One half connects to your computer via USB Type-C, and both halves communicate through the TRS connection.
Q: Is this compatible with Mac/Windows/Linux?
A: Yes! The keyboard works with any operating system that supports USB keyboards, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and even some tablets/phones with USB host support.
