More details

Great keyboard

Only complain is the lack of a build guide :)

We are two days too late, but we've just published a new build guide for the wired variation of this kit. If you still need it, there's a link at the top of the description page. Thanks!

Not standard Sofle

I hadn't realised until it arrived, but this is not the standard Sofle RGB kit. This is a mechboards custom Sofle pro kit. Generally this seems to simplify assembly somewhat, although it has far more sharp corners than the original sweeping angled design.

Good kit great price

Reasonably easy to assemble ergonomic split kit that is a great keyboard once you've got it up and running!

the keys are not included in the set

It is not clear in the order whether the keys are included in the set. So the order, which was intended as a gift, was unsuccessful. To this day I don't know where you can buy the matching keys.

Hi,

It does say on the page that you need switches and keycaps (and contains a full bullet point list of everything contained in the kit), but I can understand how the wording might be a little confusing. We'll update it to make it more clear for future customers. Sorry that you had a bad experience with us.

Please note you can also contact our customer support to get answers to any questions you might have.

Great hardware,poor support.

The keyboard kit was constructed perfectly, looks and feels great.
Delivery and communication was also great.
Problem is the keyboard does not work on my Linux distro, i was told to flash the keyboard with a new firmware that lowers the security for bluetooth connections, this is i am afraid beyond me and so have a very expensive paperweight.
