Honestly I don't have much use for it other than a way to get data onto a device that doesn't allow USB storage or network connections or as a mouse jiggler, but it's fun! I configured it entirely through the guidance of Claude Code: it told me what packages to install (Arduino is required, the CLI works fine) and wrote a payload that worked flawlessly. This is a pretty well documented board and you should be able to find what you need with some simple googling, though Claude Code makes it trivial to get up and running quickly! Review: Perfect - I have zero complaints about this product. I personally had some trouble reprogramming it in C++, but that was on my end—not the device itself. The build quality is excellent; it’s fully metal and feels solid and well-made. It does come preloaded with a simple script that opens Command Prompt, but it doesn’t type any commands, inject anything, or do anything malicious. Just a basic demo script. Overall, it works as advertised and feels like a quality product. ## Features - Microcontroller: ATmega32u4 - Clock Speed: 16 MHz - Operating Voltage: 5V DC - Digital I/O Pins: 10 - PWM Channels: 4 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07W5K9YHP | | Additional Features | Backlit | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,278 in Single Board Computers (Computers & Accessories) | | Brand | HiLetgo | | Built-In Media | Arduino | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | Computers, Laptops | | Connectivity Technology | Micro USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 184 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Keyboard Description | Virtual | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Manufacturer | HiLetgo | | Mfr Part Number | 3-01-1521 | | Model Name | Bad USB Beetle USB ATMEGA32U4 Development Board for Arduino Leonardo R | | Model Number | 3-01-1521 | | Number of Keys | 5 | | Power Source | DC Power Supply | | Processor Count | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Gaming | | Special Feature | Backlit | | Style Name | Contemporary | | Theme | Modern | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HiLetgo - **Color:** White - **Compatible Devices:** Computers, Laptops - **Connectivity Technology:** Micro USB - **Included Components:** Arduino - **Keyboard Description:** Virtual - **Material:** Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Gaming - **Special Feature:** Backlit - **Style:** Contemporary ## Images ![BadUsb Beetle Bad USB Microcontroller ATMEGA32U4 Development Board Virtual Keyboard for Arduino Leonardo R3 DC 5V 16MHz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jVgysxVxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: do I need to buy a Micro SD separately?** A: No. This model doesn't have a Micro SD card slot. **Q: Came with no instructions. Are there online instructions available?** A: It's a rubber ducky. There are tutorials online (both in text format and in video format AKA YouTube). **Q: Does this need Arduino drivers just on the programming computer, or also on the target machine in order to function as an HID and execute kenystrokes?** A: You will need the Arduino IDE to program that BadUSB rubber ducky.... But you don't need it for the "victim PC" **Q: How can I open the metal case (without destroying it) to get to the atmega32u4 inside?** A: The cover for the PCB is pressed into a shell. It's either a rather tight fit, or glued. You may be able to pull it out with pliers if you're ok with damaging the contacts and possibly cracking the PCB. Ideally there is foam lining the top, so dremeling it with some time would most likely work. Sorry for the long winded and not quiet conclusive answer. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As advertised *by E***H on May 23, 2026* It works! Honestly I don't have much use for it other than a way to get data onto a device that doesn't allow USB storage or network connections or as a mouse jiggler, but it's fun! I configured it entirely through the guidance of Claude Code: it told me what packages to install (Arduino is required, the CLI works fine) and wrote a payload that worked flawlessly. This is a pretty well documented board and you should be able to find what you need with some simple googling, though Claude Code makes it trivial to get up and running quickly! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect *by L***S on January 5, 2026* I have zero complaints about this product. I personally had some trouble reprogramming it in C++, but that was on my end—not the device itself. The build quality is excellent; it’s fully metal and feels solid and well-made.

Overall, it works as advertised and feels like a quality product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect little packaged microcontroller *by F***N on May 6, 2026* Bought this to use with Control mapper on SimHub and it works perfectly! Love that it comes bundled in a ready to go flash drive. Like others said it does open the command prompt when first plugged in, but I believe this is just an example program preloaded on the USB. This product is named BadUsb, it's technically supposed to be used for nefarious purposes (e.g. you could program it to execute a script automatically when plugged in). Seems like they ship it with an example script that just opens the command prompt. ## Frequently Bought Together - HiLetgo BadUsb Beetle Bad USB Microcontroller ATMEGA32U4 Development Board Virtual Keyboard for Arduino Leonardo R3 DC 5V 16MHz - HackyPi - Ultimate DIY USB Hacking Tool for Security Professionals and Ethical Hackers, DIY Programmable Hacking USB for Educational Purposes - DORHEA TF Micro SD Card Slot Badusb USB Virtual Keyboard ATMEGA32U4 Module for Leonardo R3 Bad USB CJMCU --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/161133891-badusb-beetle-bad-usb-microcontroller-atmega32u4-development-board-virtual-keyboard](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/161133891-badusb-beetle-bad-usb-microcontroller-atmega32u4-development-board-virtual-keyboard) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-02*
