The ChonkV, published by Stu aka FlatFootFox/TheStuChef, is a 58-key low-profile keyboard with Choc spacing – based on brickbots's chocV design. It adds a number row, an additional outer column, and thumb keys in the style of the Atreus.

This keyboard was designed largely as a way of learning the Ergogen keyboard layout generator. I was pretty happy with my previous keyboard build, the split Sofle Choc, but this new keyboard design allowed me to test a variety of concepts I'd been curious about experimenting with. […] It's chonky. It's a chonky chocV. The ChonkV – TheStuChef.
