Kind of issue? Bug / Assembly / Software / HELP! I need some help. Can I use the bottom plate from sofle v2 (https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard/releases/download/v2.0/v2-gerber-bottom.zip) on sofle choc (https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard/tree/master/Gerbers/Choc)

Thanks

No. The Sofle RGB is closer: same outline but mounting holes are in different locations due to routing needs. It wouldn't be hard to create one. Clone the top plate and delete the switch holes.

Can I clone the PCB and then remove all the components instead of the top plate?

Yeah should be able to. One way to check your work is export to SVG and make sure sure the outlines and mounting holes line up.
