Very nice unit

I have a couple of different Arcade micro:bit boards and this one is really nice. It takes 3 AAA batteries, which was hard to tell from the pictures and description.

It comes unassembled so you have to attach the acrylic covers yourself, which is not too difficult, and then pop the button caps on. The buttons themselves are quite noisy, which may be either annoying or satisfying, depending where you fall.

Over all I love the micro:bit and MakeCode Arcade combo both for teaching and as a user and parent of someone learning to code with Arcade, as it means I have all the great features of the micro:bit as well.
