Lily58 is a small split ergonomic kit keyboard with columnar staggering.
It has a layout of 6×4 keys, plus four thumb keys and one inner key. It is Open Source under the MIT license, and is itself based on several earlier designs, including the smaller Corne keyboard.
Description[edit | edit source]
The same type of symmetric PCB is used for the left and right hand. All components are through-hole mounted by the builder (except for Kailh sockets on the Lily58 Pro).
On each half is a Pro Micro controller board, and optionally a 32×128 0.91" OLED display (SSD1306 controller with I²C). It uses a TRRS cable as interconnect.
It is often built as a mounting plate, PCB and bottom plate between standoffs, with an acrylic cover on standoffs protecting the controller (and optional OLED display).
Variants[edit | edit source]
Each keyboard PCB can be built with either Cherry MX or Kailh Choc switches.
It has been forked as the Lily58 Pro which has Kailh sockets for hot-swappable switches.
