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.
