If we have problems with v-usb, we can move to a different microcontroller. For example, the ATmega16u2 (https://github.com/PaxInstruments/t100-electronics/issues/10).

AtmegaxU2 chips are quite expensive for this type of application actually.

We can use PIC16F1459 as an alternative. It is <1$ and has hardware USB. There is an open source USB stack available for this chip: http://www.signal11.us/oss/m-stack

I don't like PICs actually but for this price and feature set, we can take a look.

Also blink(1) mk2 uses that uC and they also moved to this chip from Attiny + vusb as well. We can ask them about their experiences as well if needed.

Not implementing. We can raise this issue again of the T100 does not work in user testing. Closing.
