oh, in that case I think yeah the BT connection on the nice!nano is pretty reliable and can be boosted in the firmware, and it has worked great with all my phones i originally got my Corne JUST to pair with my phone and take to coffee shops — I didn't start using it at my computer until much later. so my perspective might be the opposite of yours i also detest wires in general and love the clean look of wireless, so of course im gonna say yes

i got a Lily58 specifically for the number row, but I ended up building independent tenkey layers for each hand, and i'm using the tenkeys nearly 100% of the time now, even when the number row is available. not having a number row for 3 months was all it took to really solidify that muscle memory. my hands don't seem interested in going back, even though i just built two whole keyboards so that they could.

yes, it's ZMK only for all wireless + split boards right now anything designed for the nice!nano is probably great (been very pleased with that MCU) and there's no shortage of good fully assembled Corne retailers Typeractive has a great kit and customizer, but the options out there are endless with plenty of options from cheap and DIY to insanely polished and expensive when you ask "is it worth it?" what do you mean?

your dedication to shaping the day-to-day into a place that matches the pixel congregation you pray to... ...definitely makes you one of the tribe.

WEBSITES ARE GOING AWAY if i'm lucky, i guess. because Home Depot is not incentivized to be helpful. it's designed to sell shit. and yeah, so was grandpa's hardware store — but he couldn't fuck with you on some "oh i don't KNOW if i have that in stock, why don't you look around?" bullshit if you asked him about M3 screws and standoffs.

WHAT IF I COULD TELL HOME DEPOT THAT I'M DEALING WITH SOME DIPSHIT ON THE INTERNET? or, better yet, what if the dude in my glasses that's been helping me translate these instructions from Mandarin could tell Home Depot that the plastic post mount for my 6mm standoffs has an interior diameter of 2.154 mm, but that everything in my hardware kit is 2.48mm across and hexagonal. and then maybe Home Depot and the dude in my glasses can "reason" about what the best solution is, Home Depot can tell me that that no shop in their right mind would stock M3-threaded screws and standoffs (idk if that's true, i'm just salty i misread the instructions), they can both determine that the 3D model doesn't have enough tolerance to be modified to accommodate my M2 standoffs, and then finally advise me to give up the quest to fix this shit and just go straight for the fucking glue gun. what if that?

what if Home Depot got a granular, detailed, first person narrative of EXACTLY who their customer was, solved their problem, upsold them... ... and i never had to step foot on their absolutely *ass* website to do it? what. if. THAT?

ahhh, those were the days huh? before convenience? now everything's convenient, but ain't nobody know shit. we got over-indexed on scale, and... intelligence didn't. but the world is changing again. we have... pretty real intelligence in our pockets, and the cost of communication is about to fall riiiight off a cliff.

AND IF YOU KNEW? it was your job to *tell everyone that you did.* because then people came to YOU! they came to YOUR STORE, and they told you EXACTLY what their problem was, and then you didn't have to run analytics, you KNEW what people were looking for and what products to stock and how best to serve them! why does Amazon need to track my every click? BECAUSE NO ONE IS ASKING THEM FOR ADVICE.

THE HARDWARE STORE USED TO BE A SOCIAL CLUB. i used to spin on the barstool at the checkout counter while grandpa would argue with... not even employees? sometimes just random people? about how this-or-that coupler wasn't fitting on the battery in some guy's tractor because the manifold something-or-other needed to be spark-plugged. (i'm still not a mechanic) because that's how you GOT information back in the day! you *worked* for it! you asked around! made friends with people you sometimes didn't like! swallowed your pride and took a class at the technical college! you went to the fucking *library*. you couldn't figure shit out by staying at home all day, so you went out into the world and you talked to people that knew.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE SEARS CATALOG? if you do, i'm so so sorry to bring it up. that's even before my time. see i'm a tail-end millenial: one of the last to know what life was like before the internet, and then to grow up while it changed the world. i remember newspapers, and phone books, and the local grocery stores even used to *mail* coupons to every single house in the goddamn town. yep. life was reeeeeeally different before information was free.
