Happy 2nd birthday to my Moonlander!
I haven't looked into QMK configurators because if I go to the trouble of building a keeb I'd go all out and make it wireless. I did look at [keymap editor](https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor) for ZMK, which could be close enough to Oryx for me to try sometime.
- Does Kinesis 360 Editor support all functions?

72+ key Split Travel Column Staggered Keyboard
The only other thing I could recommend in that case is custom built; it's easier than you'd think, and some people have made GUI interfaces for ZMK like this: https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor

How To Setup VIA On Any QMK Keyboard
I know ZMK does not have an official one, but there's one that uses github actions in order to build a firmware for you after you commit your keymap. That's probably the closest we'll have to zmk configurator for a while https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor
- I finished low profile, wireless Corne. All is nice but I am disappointed with the battery life. Any suggestions?
