Enclosed is your custom built wireless Lily58 keyboard.
- Turn on ("Right on, Left off.") each of the two halves using the small toggle under the USB-C port.
- The keyboard should appear in bluetooth settings as "Lily58". Connect to it to pair your computer with the keyboard. Alternatively, connect a USB-C cable between the left half and your computer.
- Type and turn knobs!
The default Lily58 keymap has been flashed onto the keyboard.
- Hot swappable MX switch sockets
The switches can be changed without any desoldering. - Socketed nice!nano microcontrollers which can be removed for upgrades or replacement.
- nice!view low power OLED Screens
- EC11 Rotary Encoders
- Clones of Holy Panda key switches
- MT3 Keycaps. The keycaps can be be replaced with any other MX compatible keycaps--a keycap/switch pulling tool is needed.
- Lily58 designed by kata0510--a fellow software engineer in Japan.
- 3D Printed Case, and a custom display cover I needed
The keyboard is high profile. If you rest your palms when typing, the Fellowes Crystals Gel wrist rests work well with split keyboards--here's a cheaper option.
- ZMK open source firmware
- Getting started with ZMK -- sets up a personal repository for re-configuring your keyboard. Let me know once you do, and I can open a PR for the changes needed to support the display (nice!view).
- The Online Visual Keymap editor provides a nice UI to edit keymaps and will open PRs against your zmk config repository.
- keybr to learn key positions and reduce errors with adaptive machine learning.
- monkeytype to practice prose, symbols, and numbers (extremely configurable -- check the funbox).
- typing.io to practice coding.
