Compact hardware solution for Simhub Control Mapper bridge

Found a super compact hardware solution for those looking to use Simhub Control Mapper in bridge mode using an ATmega32U4 Arduino.

Most options require you to have an unnecessarily large board with GPIO pins, and dangle it from your computer from a cable because they have a female connector.

I found this super small PCB option with a male USB-A connector and no pins.

But because I travel with my Mini-ITX computer and was looking for something I could just plug in and forget about using an external USB-A port wasn't an option.

The solution; a 9pin USB 2.0 motherboard header to USB-A port adapter that allowed me to just leave the hardware protected inside the pc case and make use of a motherboard header that would otherwise be "wasted"

Use for the 3rd motor port on haptics controller

Hey guys.
I'm running 2 Simsonn VAM Pro haptic motors on my brake and throttle pedals.
I don't plan on adding a 3rd motor to my clutch, as I and most don't see much value in that haptic.
Since I have a 3rd motor port available in my haptics controller, and SimHub allows me to use it with non-pedal-related effects, I'm thinking of making use of it to power some additional haptic motor somewhere in the rig.
My question is, what type of motor/transducer/rumble would you recommend using it for, given the limitations of the port and power supply?
Obviously not going to power a butkicker

Hey everyone.
I finally upgraded my G29 to a Moza R12V2-based system, and since I'm now going to be frequently swapping wheels that feature different button boxes, I am looking into using the Simhub Control Mapper in bridge mode so that I can avoid constantly reassigning the buttons in the sim.
From my brief research I need an ATMEGA32U4-based Arduino system, and since I dont have the need for the extra GPIO pins and features for this project, I'm looking for the most minimal hardware solution possible.

These two dongles were the smallest hardware that came up when looking for ATMEGA32U4 across Amazon and Aliexpress. Does anyone here have experience with either of them? The PCB one looks a bit fragile. I'd like to just plug it in the back of my pc and forget about it like i currently do with my keyboard and mouse dongles when I travel with my small Micro-ITX case.
The metal one could looks mode durable and could be downsized by removing the hinged cover, but the product description only mentions it as being Arduino Leonardo-based, no mention of ATMEGA32U4
