I can recommend the DigiSpark as a cheaper, slower, alternative that works with the Arduino IDE [1]. Somebody could easily get it into a smaller form factor. I've bought some of the official versions in their KickStarter and whenever I buy through some company/research funding - but can also recommend the cheaper Chinese implementations to be just as good for projects.

That doesn't fit entirely within the USB port like the Tomu, and it's out of stock (with no eta).

  >That doesn't fit entirely within the USB port like the Tomu, No, but it would be possible to get something more low profile with some work. For most projects I would imagine it's low profile "enough". For a practical joke (because I'm cool/evil), I plugged one of these devices into the back of somebodies desktop PC and it would occasionally output a random character (either G, H, J or K). I thought the same would be amusing for mouse control too. You can get it to ultra-low power states too if you replace the power drop down (which consumes about 10mA from memory) and build a low power monitoring device. >and it's out of stock (with no eta). That's a shame. Erik is currently working on a 3D printer, it's likely this takes up most of his time now [1]. The clones are readily available though [2].

  > and it's out of stock You can get clones from china on ebay for about $5.
