Dropped the underglow though. Also, pcb outline has changed, existing cases won't fit.

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

I have a Corne that had the underglow. Turned it off. Won’t miss it. I look at the screen, not at the keyboard.
It’s too bad the PCB shape changed, but it sounded like it was an error correction based on precise key spacing.
The Corne v4 is starting to appear for sale now. This eBay vendor has reasonable prices and options to get the board "bare bones" or with switches or encoders: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=186471469253&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211&_ssn=fengsbay&ref=mark.stosberg.com
