Possible Teensy LC Alternative?

[Fox]

I was just searching for something cheaper than the Teensy and came across this:

Here is a better picture:

I'm new to the working on Pi projects, but it seems like it should work, but I don't know if it would have the full functionality of the Teensy. Any ideas?

If you are on a budget, you could just go with using the GPIO pins?

Yes, you can just use GPIO.
I believe that the Arduino Nano can't actually emulate a keyboard - you need an Arduino Leonardo, Micro or Due.

Ah, I see! Thanks for the clarification.

@Fox
The Arduino Nano V3 should work.
I already bought 3 of them to test for another project and asked a few guys that used it.
It works with the Raspberry Pi 2B, but it is not as comfortable as the Teensy.
I myself, have not tested it yet, but for 2 bucks, I took the risk and ordered them.

Hmm, that's interesting because the Arduino website said otherwise...
Welp, please accept my sincere apologies for not researching further.

I am not sure of this either, but i found a few guys that have the Nano V3 working with their Pis,
so i guess there is a way to make them work. I will see once the clones arrived and i had time to test them.

It would be a really cheap way to create your own controller.

Thanks. You will have to keep me posted once you try it out!

Will do, as soon as they arrive, but china is not the fastest in terms of shiping time
