Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Hello,

I have trouble connecting my Aurora Corne split kb (wireless) to my MacBook Pro 2021 M1 (OS X version 13.4) -- this is a work laptop, so re-installing the OS is not an option. Other Bluetooth devices work as expected. I suspect it has to do with Mac's Bluetooth or the firmware. It worked for a few minutes, but then it stopped working, and I tried flashing the firmware again, renaming the keyboard, etc. but think it has just gotten worse.

I have flashed the ZMK firmware here.

I have another laptop that runs on Ubuntu, which seems to be able to connect to the wireless kbd. When I look for Bluetooth devices with Bluez, it seems there are multiple keyboards/different MAC addresses, idk.

I have tried all the solutions I can find for making the MacBook "forget" all previous connections/Bluetooth devices, including deleting files, resetting the service, etc.

Has anyone been through a similar situation, or could give any advice? Thanks

could be a problem with the board itself, maybe using the high power option on ZMK could be worth a shot too
