I have a solder pcb, so the there was a bunch of options that I could use, the pcb that I got has the option for the "normal" 60% layout, or one with arrows and 1u keys. that was my first mech so I wanted the arrow keys so that's the layout soldered. I not 100% sure but I don't think the hot swap pcb for the old tofu has all those options.

Dude, nice. I have a similar project in limbo myself, I just need to learn to design the PCB and get it ordered. The breadboard prototype is working and gathering dust on my desk though. So, congrats on actually completing the project.

Go for RP2040 based MCUs, everything else is extremely outdated by now.

Edit: for example KB2040, Helios, Frood RP2040, at least here in the EU. Don’t really have examples beyond the KB2040 for US. If you Design from scratch, of course your don’t have to use the pro micro footprint
