Microcontroller from AliExpress???

Hey everyone,

I’m new to custom keyboards and I'm building my first Corne V3 I need help choosing a microcontroller. My main requirements are:

QMK support

USB-C

Underglow & backlighting

Reset switches compatibility

The microcontroller will be exposed, so I’d prefer it to be black, but that’s not mandatory. I’d also like something easily available (AliExpress would be great). I know RP2040-based controllers are common, but I’m not sure which one would be the best fit.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
