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.
