These builds are looking good. Nice to know pro micro can be used directly instead of teensy. I plan to rebuild my bigfoot but having a hard time finding a foam replacement and I don't want to order online as I want to limit the expending at minimum. The only thing I can find is a yoga mat. Can that be used? :D
In some cases you don't have enough pins on the pro micro. In my build a teensy was required as it had enough digital inputs to wire them with Model F controller.

Thanks. Never occurred to me there are differences among bigfoots. I am currently using a teensy and use the pin config from quantalume's post here: https://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/in-praise-of-bigfoot-t8956.html#p192199
For some reason some of the keys are not working but other keys are registering double characters eg., XS instead of X.

lol. only if you find a real thin one.
don't you have a store around you which has arts and craft foam?
I tried searching for 2 weeks now but I can't find one even on arts and craft store. The yoga mat I found is around 3mm to 5mm I think. The only issue I didn't tried it yet is the surface is not plain and the color(green).
If you're getting weird characters go and check that grounding screw and nut. It needs to be clean and in good contact with the capacitive pcb.

Screw is located left from the sticker.
Nice 2mm or 3mm neoprene foam will do just fine too.
How did you mount / attach your Teensy in your case? I would love to see a picture if it's not too much trouble.
