“It comes with a read-only bootloader that can either mount as a USB mass storage device (firmware updates can just be copypasted to the "storage device")”

doing basic keyboard PCBs, the included bootloader makes it REALLY simple to work with (no worries about having to manage an ISP/SPI interface on top of everything else)
