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! https://jlai.lu/pictrs/image/b0e09ad1-a2fb-4654-820a-faf087124329.jpeg

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

<span style="color:#323232;"># Install the required compiler
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Enter in the virtual environment
</span><span style="color:#323232;">. ~/.virtualenvs/qmk/bin/activate.fish
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Check the keyboard
</span><span style="color:#323232;">qmk list-keyboards | grep sofle
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Check the keymaps
</span><span style="color:#323232;">qmk list-keymaps -kb sofle_choc
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Compile
</span><span style="color:#323232;">qmk flash -kb sofle_choc -km via -e CONVERT_TO=promicro_rp2040
