+# Only compatible with sofle/keyhive firmware which adds an extra column of keys for encoder mapping.
+
+![SofleKeyboard version 2.1 RGB Keyhive](https://i.imgur.com/Oa6spvZ.png)
+
+# Configuring VIA / Vial App
+
+This firmware will not auto-recognize until [PR #1060](https://github.com/the-via/keyboards/pull/1060) is accepted to the VIA keyboard database. For now you must install the new layout:
+
+1. Download [keyhive_sofle_rgb.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-via/keyboards/48372baae5ab451d752988121fa4f1dd47b2c1ce/src/sofle/keyhive_sofle_rgb.json).
+2. In the VIA app, select `File > Import Keymap` from the menu.
+3. Open the file you just downloaded.
+
+**You'll have to do this every time you use VIA or Vial until the PR is accepted.**
+
+# Using with VIA
+* The default layouts should be loaded automatically.
+* Layouts can be backed up in VIA in the SAVE+LOAD section.
+* It is a good idea to Save Current Layout after you decide on your mapping.
+
+# Custom Features:
+
+### Rotary Encoder and VIA Features:
+* Fully remappable. Left encoder controls volume up/down/mute. Right encoder PGUP/PGDOWN.
+* Allows for live remapping of per-layer rotary encoder functions in VIA.
+* VIA support with **keyhive_via** keymap.
+
+# Compiling
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+ make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via
+
+## Flashing
+
+Flash using the correct command below (or use QMK Toolbox). These commands can be mixed if, for example, you have an Elite C on the left and a pro micro on the right.
+
+Press reset button on the keyboard when asked.
+
+Disconnect the first half, connect the second one and repeat the process.
+
+ # for Pro Micro-based builds
+ make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via:avrdude-split-left
+ make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via:avrdude-split-right
+
+ # for Elite C or DFU bootloader builds
+ make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via:dfu-split-left
+ make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via:dfu-split-right
