Good thing I hoarded them when I did. Still have a few.

Going back and reading this thread,  I posted this sentiment a few times.  Surprised an alternative hasn't been developed in that time.

would this work?? (mostly) it's not identical but...mostly?

Thanks Lilshawn, I will ask the vendor about this board.  Maybe he will test the KADE loader software with it (or even modify the KADE loader software to work with his board).

I'm addicted to cheap fast programmable keyboard encoders, and I need to find a replacement for the minimus !

It does use the atmega32u2, but there are several things that would lead me to choose a different board.
-- I'm not sure what bootloader it uses.
-- On the e-bay page, the "Operating Instructions" and "Preliminary Documentation" links are both broken.
-- I can't find anything about the NooGrove board on the NooElec webpage.

You might be better off going with this board from MattairTech. (Select "Atmel DFU" bootloader)

https://www.mattairtech.com/index.php/atmega32u2-usb-development-board-arduino-compatible.html

KADE Loader already supports the maxArcade prototype (same bootloader on a MattairTech AT90USB646/1286 board) so adding the 32u2 board shouldn't be too difficult.  :dunno

Worst case scenario is that you download the KADE source code, run "makefile" to generate the desired firmware(s), and upload the hex file to the board using FLIP. (FLIP tutorial here)

The pinout is shifted a bit from the Minimus layout, but it looks like the same pins are available on both boards.

EDIT: The Atmel DFU bootloader option requires a pullup resistor on pin D7. (HWB)  It could interfere with "shifted functions".
