According to leo_beekeeb, the Hotreus62 was inspired by two keyboards: Atreus62 and Lily58 Pro.

Features

• With an Atreus62 layout, Hotreus62 has enough keys for having a number row.
• Similarly to the design approach of Lily58 Pro, Hotreus62 supports both Low Profile Kailh Choc or MX hotswap sockets.
• The overall keyboard height is reduced, with the breakout board placed on top of the main PCB.

Resources

The project is 100% open source. The files (PCB, BOM, case and firmware) are available at:
