⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alex Turner - Maker & Robotics Hobbyist
"I’ve been using the Factory Pro Micro USB-C for custom mechanical keyboards and small robotics builds. The ATmega32U4 chip works flawlessly with Arduino IDE, and the USB-C port is a game-changer—no more fiddling with micro-USB cables. Soldered in some Hall effect sensors for a project, and the 2x10-pin headers made expansion a breeze."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Priya Mehta - Embedded Systems Engineer
"Chose the Advanced Model for a smart home sensor array project. The 64KB flash memory and 20MHz clock speed gave me enough headroom for OTA updates and real-time data logging. USB-C made firmware uploads consistent, and the FR4 board has held up well under repeated prototyping cycles."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Jordan Lee - Mechanical Keyboard Builder
"Used this board to convert an old TKL case into a fully programmable keyboard. The native USB HID support eliminated latency issues I had with other clones. Pinout is clearly labeled, which saved me time. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the lack of onboard EEPROM for multiple profiles—but that’s expected at this price."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Rodriguez - Automation Systems Developer
"We’re testing the Pro Model in a small-scale industrial automation setup. With 32MHz processing and FCC certification, it integrates cleanly into our control systems. The durability of the FR4 PCB surprised me—survived temperature swings and vibration tests in our workshop. Ideal for rapid prototyping before moving to industrial PLCs."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ David Kim - High School Robotics Instructor
"Bought ten Base Models for our robotics club. The ease of use with Arduino IDE made it perfect for students. They built everything from line-followers to weather stations. The compact size fits inside 3D-printed enclosures, and the solderable headers taught them valuable assembly skills. No failures after a full semester."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
