While we totally dig the Teensy as a platform, I think mounting options
are definitely one of its weak points. There are no mounting holes
(presumably because half the users stick it in a breadboard anyway, but
also I imagine to cut down on board size and cost)..and this basically
necessitates mounting the teensy to another pcb or something clever.

That clip is pretty sweet. Got me wondering if other folks have printed
teensy enclosures, and sure enough...they have.

Maybe use one of those bumpers so you can screw it down?
In any case (see what I did there?), I bet you have a ton of room inside
the analog footswitch itself...have you considered mounting inside there?

Hi,
I need a dead-simple midi footswitch for my v-drums, but I can't find one
cheaper than $80 online! Since I have an old 1/4" analog footswitch just lying
around, it seems a no-brainer half-hour project to connect a $20 teensy to a
1/4"
female jack, use the USB->MIDI feature of Teensyduino to load a simple sketch
and turn my footswitch into a 1-note USB/MIDI keyboard, and spend the $60 I
saved on rock & roll things like … um … extra sticks, or something. Right?
The only thing I'm not sure of is what case to put it in. An altoids tin
seems like a vast waste of space. Ideally I'd find some small, rugged
plastic or metal cylinder not much bigger than the teensy itself, with
the teensy's USB port on one end and the 1/4" jack on the other, so
the whole thing resembled a wart on a cord.
What are your favorite cases for teensy projects where tinyness is golden?
