What is it?

This is a custom programmable mechanical keyboard with a keyboard layout similar to the popular Atreus. It uses mechanical switches (Kailh Choc Low Profile type). The keys are hot-swap socketed and have an individual underglow RGB LED which can be turned on.

Since this is a Hot Swappable Switches keyboard, you can choose the Choc switches as well as the keycaps you prefer. You can even mix and match switches for the ultimate customization.

What makes it special?

This is a fully programmable keyboard which doesn't require any tooling or special software to change its programming! It's also supported by KMK!

Features

• Powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 Microcontroller
• Per key RGB LEDs (NeoPixels)
• Kailh hot-swap switch sockets (for Kailh Choc Switches. Not compatible with MX switches)
• Included buzzer for audio feedback
• Powered and programmable via USB-C

About the RP2040

The RP2040 microcontroller is a dual core ARM Cortex M0+ running at up to 133Mhz. It bundles in 264kB of SRAM, 30 multifunction GPIO pins (including a four channel 12-bit ADC), a heap of standard peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, clocks, etc), and USB support.

What's included?

• 1 VColChoc44 PCB
• 44 RGB LEDs (SK6812 MINI-E)
• 44 Kailh hot swap Socket for low profile 1350 Chocolate Switches

Notes:

• Standard order does not come with switches or keycaps. You will need to obtain these yourself.
• This is a DIY keyboard kit which requires assembly, including soldering of surface mount components. Choose the assembled version if you do not want to solder any components.
• Switches must be installed with the PCB on a flat surface, so as to not damage the hot swap sockets. Pushing the switches in while holding the PCB in midair may cause the hot swap sockets to come off.
