List of keyboards by controller / not using pro micro
right, but I cannot find a compatible replacement that has more memory proton-c is out of stock everywhere, Bonsai-C would have to be custom printed -- I don't see any ready source for it. The STM32F401CC blackpill is available and cheap, but not compatible with PCBs designed for the pro micro. Other compatible MCUs like the Puchi-C and Elite-C have the same memory as the pro micro.

Want to use Bonsai C4 for Corne, few questions.
I have read the information on using a Bonsai C4 with split keyboards and think I understand it, but wanted to check with the community. Bonsai C4 Github

PCB Design Question: How do you wire a PCB that uses an integrated microcontroller board (proMicro, Elite C)?
In addition to the connections to the switch matrix, you'll obviously have connections, to the USB port (which also conveniently supplies power and ground) and you may even have some ESD protection devices. Here's a schematic for a similar controller card (but powered by an ARM chip): https://github.com/customMK/Bonsai-C

Out with the 4 year old 40 key and in with the 44 key prototype.
Yeah, the Teensy is a great option for handwiring, or if additional pins are needed for extra features like encoders. I can't help but wonder, however, if the future belongs to ARM. QMK's own Proton C uses a big manly ARM chip with a stupid amount of flash, RAM and ridiculous clock speeds. And then there is the Bonsai C, which is an optimized version of the Proton C: https://github.com/customMK/Bonsai-C

Introducing Bonsai C: An open source drop-in-replacement for Proton C
Absolutely! We linked to it in the main comment under this post and prominently feature it in the GitHub repo, but for your convenience, I can link it here too. Enjoy!

List of keyboards by controller / not using pro micro
For reference for anyone that tries it: - the kb2040 works fine for me now in my Fifi, not noticed any issues so far - At the time of writing support is not merged to QMK yet, I used the KarlK90 branch - for the keyboard to work, I only had to change the PIN mappings: from

my work setup is starting to look pretty awesome! New Deskmat
I too have the wireless version for my laptop! Both my Elecom huges have the ball bearing mod. I'd recommend picking some up and doing it, makes the ball so much smoother. Build log is on the Crowboard github page. and I used KMK firmware. Firmware for this particular board is on the Keyboard Dweebs firmware repository. If you wanna take a look at what is needed. It's very straight forward. Easier than QMK in a lot of ways. There is a version of QMK for pico that's being worked on. the branch is here if you're interested. as far as I am aware almost everything is working now too, which is neat. So I'm going to work on getting qmk on the crowboard in the next week or so.

I have built my first keyboard, it is called YAEMK.
Thank you, the layout is available in the my personal qmk repo for key placement see the layout tester or case files. While pro micros are good, I would recommend going with blackpill boards with stm32f411 mcus.
