user20571: Our project involves using an arduino compatible microcontroller to control a mouse on a computer with an accelerometer and flex sensor. We had narrowed down to the ATTiny85 due to its small size.
We found a particular tutorial on the Adafruit tutorial  website, using the Adafruit Pro Trinket using the same ATTiny85. 
Is there a reason to believe that this won't work?
Also, does anyone have suggestions as to which board to use apart from Micro as it isn't too available here?

user23644: Due to the lack of USB-Support of the ATtiny85 you will be forced to use something like V-USB as the tutorial does. This might have implications when you are targeting a commercial product.
Personally I'd suggest using the ATmega32u4. It has USB build right in.
But basically I don't see any reasons why it should not work.
