The Chaz, this gorgeous little sub-40%, is a Choc-spaced, low-profile QAZ-alike. Teasing it in April, designer Jason Hazel aka quirk wrote:

Prototypes are functional, but mounting was screwed up. Just submitted a revision with different mounting and added battery support while at it. Now off to start re-designing the case.

Since the original post on r/mk, Jason has iterated a bit and has released the source.
