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

Questions before getting a corne keyboard (self.ergomechkeyboards)

submitted 8 months ago by mobergmann to c/ergomechkeyboards

I want to get a corne keyboard, but I have a few questions, before I dare to dig deeper into the topic.

Can I use the keyboard wired and wireless? Meaning, when I plug in a cable, that it (turns of its wireless connection and) uses the cable connection?
Can I also just use one site at a time, meaning that the other side is turned off/unplugged?
Which version (corne-classic, corne-cherry or corne-chocolate) should I use when I want to use Gateron Hot-Swap Switches (not low-profile)?
Do I have to pay attention when buying keycaps, e.g. to also get special sized caps?

I was curious about ZMK but now I already have everything set up exactly how I want it in QMK and I do not wanna pay the cost of switching lol. Maybe one day though
