A 3D printed, seamless top-mount case with underglow for the Sofle v2 keyboard – designed and shared by _vastrox_ aka kb-elmo.

The top, plate and the knobs where all printed in black PLA, the bottom was made from clear PLA for maximum underglow brightness.

Inside is a custom soldered PCB based on the original Sofle v2 design by Josef Adamcik (I personally just don't like hotswap which is why I made my own version) – _vastrox_.
