Review on 💪 Enhanced Performance Pro Micro - 5V/16MHz by Teresa Olson

Everything worked very well the first time I used it. I got error messages when trying to upload new code. I'm trying to reset it by unplugging it and plugging it back in and now my computer doesn't recognize it. After a thorough check of the SparkFun website, it turned out that the bootloader was overwritten. WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT?! How can a simple code upload overwrite something that shouldn't be touched at all? Apparently, this can be fixed by purchasing additional gear, which is available on the SparkFun website. I think it would be cheaper to just toss it with the rest of the junk and invest in something cheaper that can be found somewhere on this site. I found another offer where I can spend the same amount and get 3 of them (a different brand of course).
