I *think* the ones I prefer are therefore TKL in that nomenclature... I usually just call them "mini" or "compact". The ones that advertise as having an "embedded numpad" which I never ever use or need. See --> Adesso or SolidTek ACK-595, pretty much my ideal keyboard. PgUp/PgDn/Home/End on the

One more thing first. You concretely cannot do USB HID stuff on a '328-based board. You'd have to flash the serial-to-USB chip with a different USBID (high level stuff, that) which would necessarily then cause it to stop ID'ing as an Arduino... see, the USB comms on those boards is handled by that

The '328 ones are Pro Minis, although eBay does tend to make a mess of the labeling... both Pro Mini and Pro Micro designs are originally SparkFun Electronics in-house designs. Great company, but I wish they hadn't done those. I like the Arduino Nano (328) and original Micro (32u4) far better than

I'm not familiar with percentages being used to describe keyboards. Can you explain? Also, the price I had quoted was for an original Micro, not a Pro Micro, as context should have made clear. For the record -- $10.49 for quantity one, from China, probably not ePacket shipping, although I didn't

Quick note... the Pro Micro is a new revision of the older Arduino Micro and has fewer IO pins, IIRC. It may not have enough pins for these purposes... OF COURSE Chinese eBay factories/sellers jumped on the new one. You can still buy the older ones if you fiddle with keywords well enough (or sort
