What's the difference between V1 & V2?
V1:
- Switch has 5 pins which are closer together
- Large GND planes making soldering GND pins take longer (need more heat)
V2:
- Switch has 3 pins which are further apart and harder to bridge
- Uses traces instead of power planes, GND pins solder just as easily as other pins
- More consistent LED orientation markings on all boards
- Has a small hole at the top for hanging with a jump ring or coil-less safety pin
