Cyberpunk moment of zen: when it's faster (and almost as cheap) to have Amazon Prime send you out complete modules and strip them for their battery clips than it is to put an order for them through DigiKey/Mouser. #electronics
@tomnardi I used to do that with ebay Power Gloves for the flex sensors. Felt like a monster tearing them apart but there was no comparison in speed and price.

Sometimes the economy of scale can work out in our favor like that.

Earlier in the year, was considering buying Digispark clones to salvage the ATtiny85s from them -- cost was comparable to bare chip, and had the advantage of actually being available.
