I am looking at building a Sofle V2.1 to swap from my Logitech Ergo K860. Tell me why I shouldn’t or why the Sofle is wrong.

The things I am looking for in an ergo keyboard

  • split design
  • rotary encoders look interesting
  • fewer keys but more than 35 to transition
  • I want to hook it up with a NiceNano! and Nice Views
  • Corr@lemm.ee

    Oleds don’t play well with wireless. They tend to use too much power. There is a power power alternative in the nice!view. Same with rgb except there is no alternatives for that one.

    Doing wireless you’ll likely be using zmk which is harder to debug, with worse documentation and fewer resources. I’ve been using a wired lily58 recently and it’s been quite easy to work with. I would recommend a wired build personally.

    Also, this is subjective, but I found the pinky stagger on the lily to be not enough, so I’m building a chocofi shortly. Although you have the experience with your ergodox so maybe more pinky travel isn’t something with any appeal to you lol
