Orange Dog aka fanfaandcode/honeywave shared the Chonkofly19, a hotswap and low-pro monoblock split using Pi Pico controller. Based on Vitaly Volkov's Chocofly keyboard layout, it features MX spacing and mounting points to allow for better Choc V2 switch and MX stem keycap compatibility.

The Chocofly has more features, but I did not use most of them as it was made for using with a laptop – honeywave.

Features

• 60 keys (6x4+6)
• Choc V1/V2 support, hotswap
• MX spacing
• Pi Pico controller
• 3D-printed case
• QMK firmware
