This is the next iteration of the original lil Chonkster, with eased tenting and a little less curvature of the keywell.
- Less curvature, resulting in less tenting.
- MX and Alps versions, MX version is still waiting on 1.75U thumbkeys, which were harder to order than anticipated.
- Punk rock hotswap sockets using rivets.
- TRRS connector moved to the thumb cluster.
[…] after using the previous incarnation for a couple of months I decided to ease the tenting and I found I needed a little less curvature of the keywell – Sndr666.
