I'm a total newbie. I bought a Pro Micro but I didn't know that it can't be used, if you don't solder things in his holes. I found this picture on Google:enter image description here

And it seems that exists those stuffs (green and white) to test the circuit before soldering.

Do you know where can I buy them? Or do you know their name?

Thanks.

Perhaps you are looking for items like these from from a well established seller adafruit.com. However, what you are proposing is not cheap when compared to soldering. I would recommend you learn soldering as it will likely be the way you want to assemble your final Arduino project.

If you're just getting started and are not comfortable with soldering I would suggest getting one of the larger boards that has headers on it. (An Uno or a Mega, for example). You can use one of those and a breadboard to experiment without having to solder at all.

MicroCenter (A US retailer) sells 100% compatible Arduino Mega 2560 knockoffs for $10 US.

I suggest using a board like that when you are first starting out. (And learn how to solder. It's very useful for electronics repair and various other things.)

    I need a Pro Micro because I need its ability to emulate an HID USB device.
