  • Raspberry Pi RP2040 MCU
  • Default off red power LED that you can turn on via a jumper
  • Blue user LED

Works like a charm. Though note that this is an RP2040 based microcontroller, so although the pinout is compatible with the ProMicro, make sure qmk compile targets UF2 instead of the usual hex files for ProMicro boards. Also note that the additional first row pins on the Helios Controller. I placed mine a row off but luckily was able to still use it even after shorting VCC and Reset as opposed to Reset and GND.

Nice controller

Pretty powerful. Although I'm not expert on programming controllers, it was easy enough. Be aware that it expects uf2 files.
