The btrfld v3, just like its predecessors, is a portable sibling of Evalyn Emmerich's aka (SolidHal/SolidusHal) original unibody btrfly. After the handwired prototype and V2 with PCB supporting Choc switches, the btrfld V3 features Cherry's MX ULP (ultra low profile) switches.

There aren't amazing sources of ULP key caps at this point. The best option I found was to print some. […] You need a reasonably high resolution SLA printer to get functional keycaps, FDM won't work – SolidHal.

More info on these switches at https://github.com/pashutk/Cherry_MX_ULP.
