Cornix Split Keyboard

　Cornix LP-Low-Profile Ergonomic Split Wireless Keyboard—I think this is the kind of item that really resonates with certain people. I’ve wanted a split keyboard for a long time, but most of them are DIY projects. Most of the cases were 3D-printed. Then this one with a machined case came out, but it sold out in the blink of an eye. The machined case really appeals to my inner geek, and since the Space Saver was taking up too much space on my desk and I wasn’t sure what to do about it, I decided to order this one from AliExpress.

　One notable feature is that it has encoders on both the left and right sides; by default, the left one is assigned to screen scrolling and the right one to volume control. It also has three key mapping layers, so if you learn how to use them effectively, there are plenty of ways to customize it. You should also be able to choose from three different Bluetooth devices to connect to.

　I’d like to write about my experience using it, but to be honest, I haven’t used it much at all. The only thing I’ve used it for is a typing practice program—I haven’t really put it to practical use. I bought it fully expecting that it would take quite a bit of effort to master, but when it actually comes down to using it, I find myself hesitating a bit. I should really be writing this blog post with it—that’s why I bought it in the first place—but I haven’t managed to do so yet. I guess I’ll make that another topic to write about!
