Multiple variants (MX/Choc/MX hotswap) available at: https://github.com/swanmatch/MxLEDBitPCB
So this is not new but was brought to my attention this week by jack-of-some's post:
My MXLEDBIT finally arrived from jlcpcb. 5 bucks for 125 single switch PCBs aint bad – jack-of-some.
My current build uses amoeba v1.6. amoeba wiring was ok, and I don't expect this to be much different. The thing I'm excited about with these is that they have kailh hotswap socket support. With the Amoebas I used millmax which was ok but ended up having a bunch of issues (e.g. it didn't hold nearly as well) – jack-of-some.
