The keyboard works fine. I have paired my unit with Akko Cilantro early tactile switches and GMK WoB SA clone keycaps.
Out of the box, the firmware did not work very well with macOS, causing a lot of sticky keys, missed key up events, and sometimes even missing letters. This was fixed after a recompilation and a reflashing of QMK. After disconnecting both the halves, press and hold the Q key while plugging in the USB C cable to enter bootloader mode. Similarly, for the right half, press and hold the P key while inserting the USB C cable to enter bootloader mode. Never keep TRS cable connected while loading firmware.
Docking a star as my package did not come with the advertised USB cable, and also for the firmware issues.
Amazing keyboard for the money.

Coming back with an update after using the Corne V4.1 for a while — adding a 3D-printed tenting stand and custom keycaps made the typing experience even more comfortable and ergonomic. The hotswappable design also makes it fun to keep experimenting with the setup.
Sharing a picture of my current build for anyone looking for inspiration!

If you are considering transitioning to an ergonomic split keyboard to save your wrists, the Corne v4.1 is one of the best investments you can make. The build supplied by Neo Macro is well put together, and the hotswappable switches allow you to experiment with different typing feels over time.
