BIT-C Pro Micro MCU w/USB-C & DFU bootloader (ATmega32U4, 5V/16MHz) (White)

Just scratching the surface...
I purchased this for use with the Nullbits Tidbit kit, and for what I'm using it for, it's been flawless. I wanted a basic add-on macropad for use with excel, visual studio code, and other productivity/professional tools, and this controller works just fine so far. Honestly though, since I'm just scratching the surface on what I can do with it, and you can create advanced functionality with any QMK capable MCU, here are the real reasons this particular unit gets five stars for me:1. It was very easy to solder. The pads are spaced well for a normal fine tip iron, and they lined up with the pin headers easily. Also, the legends on the board were very clear. I appreciate the good PCB layout from Nullbits.2. It comes in both black and white. Seems silly, but really happy I could get it in the appropriate colorway for my setup.3. The instructions from Nullbits were great. This is the biggest reason for the five stars. For a small company to have good, up-to-date documentation that just works is VERY impressive to me. I really appreciated being able to just hop into QMK configurator, create my layout, then follow their instructions to flash. Super easy, even if you're not technical.4. The price was right. For a general-purpose breakout board like this, I really don't think $20 is that bad.In any case, I'll be buying another one of these in the future for another custom productivity build.

Extremely thin, should include standoffs though
Incredibly thin which is great for the CRKBD (Corne Keyboard) as it allows for installation of microcontroller and LCD under the cover. Really should have included standoffs though as every other microcontroller I’ve ever purchased has come with them, if I didn’t have extras around I would have no way to install them.Other things:- Board is cut pretty rough, will have to sand it down- USB-C connector is side mounted and even though secure, does not look like it would stand up well to lots of connecting and disconnecting, would definitely suggest upgrading to magnetic adapter if using for a keyboard build- the white looks awesome- it really is crazy thinEven though there are some negatives here, still giving 5 stars as it’s readily available, price is OK but in current market is actually competitive, available in 2 colors, and I always appreciate innovation is such a small niche-market.Would recommend this for anyone who wants a pro-micro drop in replacement with USB-C. Elite-C is just as good but the BIT-C is MUCH thinner and may be much better/necessary for your use.

Expensive but worth it. Definitely read the instructions!
Grata product. Be sure to read the instructions so you use the correct flashing process. Usb-c port is well mounted and very sturdy!

Functional, but not durable
The microcontroller arrive and was functional out of the box, but a couple of pins weren't functional after being heated to much. I don't know if mine in specific was damaged, but I'd take caution ordering this, especially if you're new to soldering like me.

Works seamlessly with QMK
As the title says, works with QMK a dream. Super easy to flash and solder, plus cant beat usb-c.

great board
good looking and works well

Great for custom keyboards
Soldered to my Corne Keyboard halves, and it works like it says. I’ve had no issues using them with QMK firmware at all.
