  • I’ve also ordered a sofle choc v3 and started to use it, but I didn’t soldered the led or the screens yet. I’m also happy with my keyboard and the delivery was done properly !

    As a minor point I’m not sure if the sources for the keyboard have been published yet (the fork in the repo haven’t been updated since a lot of time, and I didn’t found a v3 branch). This is not a problem for me but can be if you have foss vibes.

    I’ve also removed the bottom plate because it make the keyboard sound… oddly when you press a key. I have to make some tests with plasstics screws instead of the metal ones given in the kit.

    Otherwise, I’m very happy with the keyboard, comming from a typematrix I’ve been able to use it as soon it was flashed !


  • Thanks all for your comments and answers, I’ve just tests the keyboard and it seems to work pretty fine, I’m really happy, I didn’t expect to get something working directly!

    As a reminder, here is the commands I’ve used to get the firmware to copy:

    # Install the required compiler
    sudo apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi
    # Enter in the virtual environment
    . ~/.virtualenvs/qmk/bin/activate.fish
    # Check the keyboard
    qmk list-keyboards | grep sofle
    # Check the keymaps
    qmk list-keymaps -kb sofle_choc
    # Compile
    qmk flash -kb sofle_choc -km via -e CONVERT_TO=promicro_rp2040
