What customers say
The Chocofi kit is highly regarded as an excellent introduction to low profile split ergonomics. Users consistently praise the compact footprint and the comfortable typing experience delivered by the split layout and Choc switches. The quality of the PCB and the inclusion of the powerful RP2040 chip are noted strengths, ensuring robust customization via QMK/ZMK. While experienced builders find assembly rewarding with clear documentation, novice users face a steep learning curve, particularly with soldering surface mount diodes and initial firmware flashing. Despite this assembly commitment, the final result is a durable, highly functional daily driver. The value is strong, offering premium ergonomic features at a competitive point for those ready for the DIY process.
