Differences between the MX and Choc variants
- The MX variant only supports MX switches and the Choc variant only supports Choc V1 switches
- While the MX variant maintains the dimensions of the Lily58 Pro PCB, the Choc PCB has totally different dimensions and utilizes Choc spacing (18x17mm). The Choc PCB is therefore more compact

Customer Reviews
This is my first split ergo keyboard, and what an excellent introduction it's been! Assembly was a total breeze (I'm pretty comfortable with soldering though). I used Gateron Melodic switches, though I may be changing to lighter tactile/linear switches. Then I got some XDA keycaps so I could have Colemak keys. A day or two into using it, after not being able to get the bottom right most key to work, I checked in ZMK to see if it was a config issue and nothing was amiss. It turned out my board was missing one diode. I reached out and Jack sent me a replacement diode (plus extras!) to solder on. Ever since, the keyboard has been flawless. It feels great to type on, and the overall build quality is excellent!
My first split keyboard and I love it. Great quality, easy to assemble
I cannot stress enough… make sure you solder the board FACE DOWN. Also, you will have two free/open sockets closest to the USB port (do not solder the pins into these open holes). Desoldering anything, without proper equipment… is a full-blown nightmare.
This keyboard is worth every penny.
I was worried about FOMO for an even SMALLER keyboard… rest assured, I am now wishing I had just a FEW more keys. But all of the extra thumb keys open up a wealth of possibilities for customization.
Board was shipped quickly, and quality of PCB/soldering is immaculate.
Pre-populated, nice solder mask, reasonable price. Very satisfied.
I think your business does a great job to presenting the generally daunting world of customized keyboards to the masses. I’d definitely recommend Typeractive to friends and acquaintances interested in having a go at the ergo keebs.
