Customer Reviews
I ordered the Sofle kit from the US, I ordered this with soldering included for the hot swap-able sockets but I forgot to add controllers to my order, i did not even need to reach out and I quickly revived an email helping me easily select the controllers for the board i ordered. I was then sent an invoice for the controllers and my order was shipped out the next day and arrived very fast for coming from out of the country. 10/10 customer support, will be getting parts here again for sure.
The service and care you get from mech boards is amazing! I was blown away by how fast people were there to help me and it made the whole process a breeze. I completely understand keyboard issues happen and these guys were there to help immediately. Such a pleasure working with them and I hope to buy stuff from them more often!! Can you guys open a USA branch?
Keyboard works great and the manufacturing team was able to work with my particular preferences! Thank you Mechboards for your help.
Delighted with my purchase. Thanks team!
Was a simple/fun build apart from the SMD (diodes) they are kinda tricky so dont rush it and you will get the hang of it after a few are in place. Get some controller/oled hotswap sockets for ease if access.
Tested with both ATMEGA32U4 & RP2040 (rp2040 has better clearance) just remember to double check you have both controllers in the correct orientation. Using it with some HMX Jammys & KAM Superuser and i love it but its tricky to get used to it and certin keycap sets wont have full compatibility so keep that in mind.
