i wanna build a wireless corne with a nice big battery so it doesnt need to charge alot but i do not know what i need i can get a aurora corne kit from splitkb bit i will need a case does someone know one that has enough space for a big battery and prefferably a wristrest any suggestions are welkom
I’ve got a 5x3 Aurora Corne, plate case, large stand-offs so I can fit 1500mAh batteries under the board. Makes it a bit “high” profile, so to speak, but I’m okay with it.
Are you putting backlighting in your build? If so, that’ll be the biggest power drain. I built my board with backlighting, although I’ve never use it. Even so I get about a week out of the right side and a few days out of the left. Planning to pull the LEDs out at some point in favour of better battery life.
Depending on the case you pick you should be able to find one with enough space in the base for decent sized batteries. I was looking at some Scottokeebs cases at one point (https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1452267605/corne-keyboard-3x6-3d-printed-case-wired); one reason I didn’t go for in in the end was because the cutouts weren’t in the right places for the Aurora PCBs controls— mainly the power switch. Give some thought to what you actually need to access with respect to any case you get.
Apologies if any of this is obvious!
yea ive got an solutions someone offerd to redesign the mitosis keyboard into the corne layout with a bigger battery (it has like 2 years battery life on one of those small thin ones)
