Lily58 Pro DIY Hotswap Kit

Description

Lily58 Pro Build Guide (WIP)

Lily58 Pro is a 58 key split hotswap keyboard with OLEDs displays and supporting RGB underglow LED strip.

This DIY Lily58 Pro kit comes with:

• 2x Lily58 Pro PCB
• Set of acrylic/aluminum cases (Base + Switch + Oled cover plates)
• 58x SMD Diodes
• 58x Kailh Hotswap Sockets (for MX or Choc switches)
• 2x TRRS jack
• 2x Tactile Reset switch
• Mounting hardware

Parts that don’t come in the kit, but are required for the DIY build:

• 2x Controllers (Pro Micro USB-C or Pro Micro)
• TRRS cable
• USB-C or Micro USB cable
• 58x Switches
• 58x Keycaps

Parts that are optional, but recommended for the build:

• Mill Max Low Profile Sockets (to make the controller hotswap)
• Mill Max Socket Pins
• OLED Display Module 0.91″ 128×32

Please note that Lily58 Pro PCBs:

• Supports/required MX and/or Kailh Choc low profile hotswap sockets (not possible to solder the switches directly into PCB without the sockets)
• Supports underglow LED Strip (handwired)
• No dedicated footprint for the Rotary encoders
• If you plan to use it with Kailh choc low profile switches, please select aluminum switch plate. Acrylic switch plate is too high for the choc switches and the 2 leg pins won’t reach properly the PCB.
