help Sofle Keyboard FAQ
How many keys does a Sofle keyboard have?
The common Sofle layout has 58 keys split between two column-staggered halves. Layers let those keys provide numbers, function keys, navigation, and symbols without restoring a conventional full-size layout.
Does every Sofle keyboard have wireless and VIA support?
No. Sofle is an open-source keyboard design with many community builds, so wireless controllers, displays, lighting, and VIA support depend on the specific PCB and firmware. A wired QMK build and a wireless ZMK build can look similar while behaving quite differently.
Can a Sofle use low-profile Choc switches?
Some Sofle variants are designed for Kailh Choc low-profile switches, while others use standard MX-style switches. Switch footprints, keycap spacing, plates, and cases are not automatically interchangeable, so the exact PCB revision matters.
What are the rotary encoders on a Sofle used for?
Sofle builds commonly place one rotary encoder on each half. QMK or ZMK can map them to volume, scrolling, zoom, application switching, or different actions on each keyboard layer.
