From the project

Split wireless keyboard PCB based on the Sofle Choc keyboard

The Sofle Choc Wireless Keyboard is a revision of the Sofle Choc keyboard by Brian Low with features that make it more suitable to building with wireless microcontrollers.

The following 2 pictures are the same exact board:

The encoders in the first picture were hot-swapped for Choc switches in the second picture. This allows for more build flexibility to change up your build, and as an added bonus, you can test out different rotary encoder options without soldering them in until you find one that you like.
