#### This keyboard firmware contains three different versions, all for the same PCB/hardware, but depending on your choice of controller/bootloader. 


* promicro - This uses the default Caterina bootloader.
* elite_c - This uses the Atmel-DFU bootloader.
* nanoBoot - A tiny 512 byte bootloader giving far more usable memory for features (can be used on both Elite C and Pro Micro).

## Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the top outer key for each hand as it is plugged in
* **Physical reset**: Briefly short the marked pads on PCB
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if mapped (not in default keymap)
