Newbie Seeking Guidance on Custom Corne Split Keyboard Build - Willing to Tip
I admire the Corne layout and hope to mirror its measurements. More details here.

Altering an existing split design to be for wireless first?
I've been inspired by projects like Corne Ultralight, Urchin, and Brain. I like how these boards have wireless first.

6x5 Ultralight Wireless Corne - first time with ZMK, what a dream
I found PCB templates on https://github.com/petejohanson/crkbd/tree/board/corne-ultralight/corne-ultralight and I modified them in Kicad by adding some art. As I ordered more than I needed, I could sell you one. PM me if you want some.

My first build Corne LP wireless
I think the easiest way to do this build is by using this corne ultralight pcb. If you can use this PCB it will make your life much easier, it already has native support for nice!view and power switch and you won't need any wires.

Wireless Corne with MX / Choc switches
I wanted a wireless crkbd, so I took petejohanson's ultralight corne mod and modded it even further — I added MX/Choc hot socket mounts. I used Freerouting app to wire the PCB automatically. It doesn't look pretty but DRC doesn't report any big issues.

[GB] Introducing the Borne Keyboard V1
Column stagger is the same but spacing differs as this one is choc spaced. It should be about the same as Corn Ish Zen 3 or Pete Johanson's Corne Ultralight. I'm getting the same question from others so I'm trying to incorporate the Borne into https://jhelvy.shinyapps.io/splitkbcompare/ :)

Endgame only because there isn't much further to go, Urchin with Sunsets and Bic lighter caps, living that green life.
Basically the urchin is wireless only with support for the nice views. You can read more on the GitHub page for it here: https://github.com/duckyb/urchin
- So. Fucking. Excited.

What board for wireless 34 key? Just build another sweep?
How about the Urchin.

Recommend me a 34 keys DIY split keyboard for my use case.
PCB: Which PCB is good for me? A margin-space keys keyboard or no-margin-space keyboard? In the 1st photo of the Sweep, there is no margin space between keys. However, Urchin and Cheapis have margin space between keys. I am using Thinkpad X1 Carbon and Framework Laptop. And I am more comfortable with a keyboard with margin spaces between keys. However, I want to know the benefit of the no-margin-space keyboard, and how easy it's to get used to.

Anyone know where to obtain these gradient blue color key caps from?
For sure! I am deciding between a Ferris sweep and an Urchin. The Urchin is here: https://github.com/duckyb/urchin

Here is my new daily driver, the Urchin!
If you would like to try a 34 key layout I would recommend starting with the Sweep, which is a very beginner friendly build. If you have already built a couple keyboards and want to go full wireless then the Urchin is for you.
