Welcome to the Jorne keyboard wiki! Also see my nRFMicro, Jorian and QMK wikis (Jorne also officially supports ZMK).

• Read the Releases article about Jorne versions, BOM and soldering instructions.
• Also read: Layout, Cases, Legs, Pads, Displays, Tracking, Topre, Free PCBs, and Memes.

Also see Dark Matter, Nijuni, Chokofi, Khonsu, Corne-UL, Corne v4 PME, Ergonaut One (XIAO), PNCATEHO, Lapka, and Mriya.

Consider a prebuilt Corne from Aliexpress first (search for Corne Keyboard). As of mid-2024 there are plenty (even wireless). Or, download PCB gerbers from Releases. Upload to PCB factory (default settings, 1.6mm 2-layer PCB, 5 or 10 pcs), pay something. Read nRFMicro wiki (buy SuperMini). Order other parts on Aliexpress. Get the mail. Snap off pinky keys for the original Corne.

Jorne is essentially Corne keyboard with an extra key for brackets and international layouts.

Like I said, you can go to the moon without a computer, so, you know, the thing we are talking about is 40% keyboard, which means only 40 keys. It's very hard to type Chinese, Japanse, Russian with 40% keyboard. It's like doubling your work. Yeah, you can. But if you need to type that two hours a day you gonna see a doctor within a month.

The keyboard layout is derived from Jian layout (just visually, there was no actual copying involved). Please buy Jian from its author, /u/KgOfHedgehogs, he's running a high quality commercial batch.
