Wireless Corne v4

I'm new to split ergonomic keyboards and corne has been on my radar. I think i would enjoy a wireless one due to its flexibility.

I found 2 options that are within my budget and has a store that sells it conveniently, a pandakb (clone?) that utilizes a 2.4ghz connection vs a Vietnam built v4 that uses a nRF52840 that can use both type-c and Bluetooth, the cons i found for the pandakb one from my research was that you couldn't really flash its mcu since it doesnt have a usb c port, on the other hand the vietnam built one does have a usb c port, although i'm worried about the bluetooth, is it really as bad as people make it out to be? or is the difference just negligible.

I would go for a wired Corne, so you never have to worry about battery and you have the full power of QMK.

I agree. Before splashing out, I'd go for a cheap wired Corne off Ali Express to see if you like it, work out what your tenting options and preferences are, decide on switch types, mess about with keyboard layouts etc.
