The KeebMicro-C is a Pro Micro compatible microcontroller board designed for DIY mechanical keyboards in Japan. It is based on the same Atmel ATMega32U4 chip and can be programmed using Arduino IDE or keyboard-specific firmware such as TMK or QMK. Conthrough, commonly used in Japan, eliminates the need for soldering.
- Conthrough support - Reduced board outline - Changed logo - Added through-hole for external USB connector

Goldfish v2: common questions
What microcontroller does the Goldfish v2 use?
The Goldfish v2 is built around the ATmega32U4-M, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Goldfish v2 PCB?
The Goldfish v2 measures 17.4 × 32.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.2 mm thick.
How many components are on the Goldfish v2?
26 components, from 16 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Goldfish v2 design files?
From the Salicylic-acid3/PCB_Data repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Goldfish v2 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Salicylic-acid3 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Goldfish v2 without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
