What is the usecase of this? I get it.. they're tiny, but why? They're too small to handle properly (how do you pull it out if you have fat fingers?), they're too small to properly solder on wires to connect whatever else, and when there are 4 wires soldered on, they're not tiny anymore,... The only way I'd use them is for some kind of "hacking" situation, when an emulated keyboard is needed, and one of these can be installed and stay hidden in someone elses computer.
Otherwise, i'd use something like this (not afiliated):

Enough pins are accessible, led is visible, headers can be soldered on and development can be done with dupont wires, the led is visible, and they're not that large still.
If you need more (and wifi), you even have stuff like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004860003638.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004860003638.html (again, not afiliated)
- chadaustin 4y agoI wanted to make a permanent wake-from-sleep capacitive touch button for a PC that doesn't always have a keyboard attached. I tried to use the Tomu for that. Unfortunately, I never was able to wrangle its built-in USB functionality to stay awake when the PC slept. They're not that hard to pull out. I did find it hard to find good examples for how to program the micro's capabilities, however.
