Do any keyboard firmwares support Bluetooth on the Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit? I'm sure that there there are firmwares that support the board as a USB HID device, but I'm wondering if any of them support its BT LE functionality. I'm about to start on a new project and it would be nice to have BT as an option.

Thanks.

There are some pull requests for that in QMK. A expect them to be merged in a few days. See here: https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware/pulls

It seems there's another Arduino-compatible BT board from SeeedStudio called the LightBlue Bean+ (https://www.seeedstudio.com/LightBlue-Bean%2B-p-2740.html) which says it uses an ATmega328p processor yet also says it supports HID. That seems impossible, unless it means it support HID for BT only (and not USB). Still, it's an interesting board and comes with a lipo battery attached.
