The Hotreus62 Keyboard is a fork of atreus62 keyboard. It supports MX hotswap and Kailh Choc v1 hotswap sockets on the same board, similar to Lily58 Pro. It's great for testing which type of keyswitches feels best for the keyboard. The overall keyboard height is reduced, with the breakout board placing on the top.
