These boards are obsolete, very hard to solder and overall just awful, so do not order.
I use multiple drills to make oblong holes because PCBS.io doesn't support plated slots.
Target board: YDKB Controller (HHKB BLE MOD upgrade module) by yangdigi. Current version: 1.0.
USB-C riser board uses the same components as in nRFMicro:
- USB-C connector is MC-372 16-pin ($0.19 for 1 pcs)
- MicroUSB connector (optional) is 5P 4Legs ($0.46 for 10 pcs)
- Resistors are 5.1K in 0603 packages, need 2 pcs ($0.61 for 100 pcs)
MiniUSB footprint is a modified USB_Mini_B_Female_548190519.kicad_mod from digikey.
OSHPark charges just $0.85 for 3 boards with a purple mask, including international shipping (untrackable, takes about a month).
PCBS.io charges $0.70 for 4 boards (actually 6 boards) with black mask, including international shipping (9-20 days fabrication, 12-60 days shipping).

Mind that PCBS.io doesn't support oval plated slots and edge cuts. To export for PCBS.io:
- disable "Edge.Cuts" layer, enable "Margin" layer (make sure it matches Edge.Cuts)
- enable "Exclude PCB Edge layer from other layers", "Use Protel filename extensions"
- (drill file) enable "PTH and NPTH in a single file"
