Back from Coventry, resurrecting Fs.

I've just gotten back from Coventry, it's been a fair few years so I have a lot of catching up to do.

But to maybe save me some some hassle, can someone please let me know the current "best in class" for Model F conversion to USB. I have 5 of them to convert.

Is it still teensy with qmk et al?

What else should I maybe be paying attention to after 4 years of exile?

Thanks.

Hi and congrats for your haul. 5 are quite a bunch of model Fs. Lately I found quite interesting and profitable converting an F122 with a firmware (tinkerboy credit) qmk/vial enabled that means key mapping on the fly without the need of uploading a new firmware every time you need to change something in your keymap layout.
Updating the Soarer’s Converter (ATMEGA32U4) to QMK Firmware with VIAL support is a comprehensive guide tut made by the same author, thinkerboy, you can find here and upload it for the first and last time on a prom1cro atmega 32u4 microcontroller.
