YIVU Corne V4.1 Wired Split Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard | 40% Ortholinear 3x6 Layout, 46 Keys | Hot-Swappable Per-Key RGB | Vial/QMK Programmable | Pre-Lubed Linear Switches

Current YIVU listing of the Corne V4.1: a wired 46-key split board with a 3x6 column-staggered layout, three thumb keys per hand, hot-swap sockets and Vial remapping.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Two separate halves let you set spacing, tilt and rotation to match your shoulders and wrists
  • + Hot-swap sockets accept 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches, and it ships with pre-lubed linear switches
  • + Every key is remappable in Vial, with RGB backlighting and 45 preset lighting modes

Trade-offs

  • - Only 46 keys, so numbers, symbols and arrows live on layers and take time to learn
  • - Wired only: a USB-C cable to the computer and a TRS cable between the halves are required
