Any custom pcb that requires a atmega32u4 soldered directly? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hello, I'm looking for any custom keyboard/pcb that requires the components to be soldered directly to it, and uses a atmega32u4. I happen to have a promicro board that I ripped the USB connector and traces from it, so with this new spare chip I was looking to try building something :)

I know most PCBs that can be bought will come with the components already soldered, but I'm open to protects where the pcb needs to be send to be manufactured.

With how cheap those chips are I'm not sure I see the value in sending it to the manufacturer.

I've also never seen a PCB that has the atmega built in show up without that already installed. If you want though you could find an open source board design you like and order the PCBs yourself without components... If you're up for the challenge.
