Many popular Pro Micro alternatives like the Elite-C, Bit-C, Sea-Micro, Puchi-C etc should be flashed with a different bootloader such as `atmel-dfu`. + +**If the incorrect bootloader is specified, bootmagic reset and the `QK_BOOT` keycode will not work**. + +To avoid this problem, set the correct bootloader in your custom keymap's `rules.mk` file before compiling, or flash using an appropriate target (e.g. `make mechwild/bde:default:dfu`).
