Alwi Muhammad (aka AlwiM26) shared this cool Chocofi-derivative: the Neko.

Just finished building my own custom keyboard, Neko. I customized the chocofi keyboard PCB, changed the edge cut a little bit, added some graphics, and remove the inner thumb key since I rarely use it on my corne keyboard. It's also my first time trying the choc switches, and they're actually not bad, I got the kailh pink linear switches, which is slightly lighter than I expected – Alwi.

Specs

• 34 keys (5x3+2)
• low-pro Choc, hotswap
