I Love My New Corne!
I bought the corne v4.1 from alix.
Board: Corne v4.1 prebuilt only because of the price.
Keycaps: Idk I just found them laying around. I believe the white caps might also be from alix and the black keycaps are from amazon that I originally got for my Wooting.
Switches: The board came with switches that kind of look like Graywood v4s.
Layout: I use the Colemak layout and I have not changed the layers that much but I might soon.
I've had this keyboard for around 5 ish days now and I've enjoyed it very much. It looks amazing, feels even better and has fixed my wrist pain!
The main reason that I bought the Corne and was even looking into split keyboards in the first place was because my wrists and left pinky were dying from the uncomfortable position that my hands were in and how weirdly I had to move in order to type the enter key.
I actually bought a split keyboard before this from the same seller, the "Borne" It was just a Corne with an extra number row. The Borne felt amazing with silent pinks and made me realize how good the thumb clusters and extra layers were! However, I had two gripes with it, both of which are completely personal preferences. One, the silent switches felt weird and mushy which I get a lot of people like but they are just not for me and unfortunately I did not have any extra switches to use. Second, I didn't like the look of the number row and I did not want to use it and I wanted a more minimal keyboard. So, I packed it up and returned it and got a Corne v4.1.
The experience of switching over wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be. it took me around 3 days to switch my muscle memory of using my pointer finger to press the c key to now using my middle finger like you should. It took me another day and a half ish to learn how to use the numbers, symbols, and the arrow keys.
Overall the experience typing is amazing and I will remap the period and comma keys onto the number layer and I think I would want to try a 36 key layout some time in the future.
11/10 keyboard, thank you for reading my post!
