Questions before getting a corne keyboard (lemmy.world)

I want to get a corne keyboard, but I have a few questions, before I dare to dig deeper into the topic.

  1. Can I use the keyboard wired and wireless? Meaning, when I plug in a cable, that it (turns of its wireless connection and) uses the cable connection?
  2. Can I also just use one site at a time, meaning that the other side is turned off/unplugged?
  3. Which version (corne-classic, corne-cherry or corne-chocolate) should I use when I want to use Gateron Hot-Swap Switches (not low-profile)?
  4. Do I have to pay attention when buying keycaps, e.g. to also get special sized caps?

Addendum to 1: While QMK is nice, I personally prefer ZMK and use it even on my wired boards. So just wanna say, "forced to use" sounds a bit harsh. ZMK is a great and very capable firmware, and it does certain things better than QMK.

    I was curious about ZMK but now I already have everything set up exactly how I want it in QMK and I do not wanna pay the cost of switching lol. Maybe one day though
