Which Feather board has both USB HID and BLE HID support

Post by jdyson »

Hi,
I am planning to build a macro pad using the NeoKey 5x6, several QWIIC rotary encoders (4991), and an OLED display. I would like to be able to do USB HID and BLE HID, but I'm having trouble figuring out which of the Feather boards support both USB HID and BLE HID. It looks like the Bluefruit boards support BLE HID, but I can't find anything that indicates whether they support USB HID. Is there a particular Feather that you would recommend for this application? A non-Feather option would be fine too, I just like the battery option and the QWIIC connectivity of the Feather boards. Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

I'm pretty sure the Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express can do that, in the Arduino examples you can find for both BLE HID and USB HID examples.

Maybe there is also a Feather with an ESP32 with those possibilities, but I don't have much knowledge about them, maybe an ESP32-S3 or an ESP32-C3

Any of our nRF52840 boards can do both USB HID and BLE HID:
