Like crazy, but a bit milder.
So, "slightly crazy" maybe...
I would say bonkers would translate pretty much to "mental" or perhaps "barmy".
Although you may be right.
People often do use it to mean slightly mad. But they do with "mental" too..
E.g: "He's completely mental him!" "Yeah I know I am I'm completely mad" or "He's barmy him" "Yeah I am. I'm bonkers

I think many words like that can be used in a lighthearted way to mean 'slightly mad' or 'a bit nuts', etc.
I guess it depends on the context really...I dunno.
I find stuff like that interesting
