How to Build a Wireless Lily58 Keyboard
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- This video will go through all the steps to build a wireless Lily58 mechanical keyboard. The steps shown apply to both low-profile Choc and MX variants for the Lily58. The board I'm building here is powered using nice!nano controllers and features nice!view displays.

Thanks to Typeractive for sending me over this board to check out and build! They gave me a coupon "SCOTTOLILY58" to pass along that will get you 5% off for the next 2 weeks on typeractive.xyz
The more videos I see, the more tempted I become to attempt to build a keyboard.
start with a macropad. resist the urge to start split or start with a custom layout (like I'm doing right now)
@@purplelord8531 thanks for the advice
FYI, they do offer the acrylic for the Corne (at least, now they do). It looks a bit different but I love it. NGL I never ever buy sponsored stuff but I ended up going with Typeractive. They're great and involved in a lot of the open source HW development (like nice!nano). They're the only ones that offer all the surface mount stuff already attached w/ the wireless Corne board... at least that I could find. And its only a few bucks more than Boardsource's unsoldered board + all the parts.
nice build, great tuto, thanks !
This will be the 3rd keyboard of your I’ve made!
May I know if you have an in-depth video on how to customize the screens to show like the battery life, paired device, etc?
Nice build, very interesting. Do you know whereI could find similar keyboard but with metal plate and metal case?
It is beautiful, where can I buy it already assembled? Is it hard to do it yourself if you have no experience?
Do you have any videos on ordering all the parts yourself, how to get a case, where to get them, as opposed to using a kit?
Hi! With the above battery capacity, how long can the keyboard be used?
Are there any controllers that have 2.4ghz built in that can pair with a usb dongle? Or is it only BT? Nice and concise video!
I believe there are controllers out there with 2.4ghz but I’m not sure if they’re compatible with Pro Micro footprint boards.
Great informative video! Would you say there is any noticable latency on the wireless versions?
Nothing noticeable while typing but I definitely wouldn’t game with it in wireless mode. You can plug it in over USB to get lower latency.
@@joe_scotto Thank you Joe!
Curious about the height from desk to top of dsa keycap. I'm looking for something more low profile than my current build.
Probably about 30mm at most, they also have it available in a Choc variant which is about as low profile as you can go.
yes. acrylic was (is) an option at the time you made yours.
I wish i could get leaded solder in europe :(
280c doesnt even melt the unleaded solder...
I know it is a bit out of topic, but do you have any suggestion on how to make plate base and casing on our own pcb design ? And what software that are free to use instead of the premium one because it is just 1 time only for me ? Thanks
You should check out his other videos there's at least one that covers making a plate and case for a keyboard
@@parallacksg i cant find the one with custom pcb. Indeed there are alot with custom case but they are handwired
The concepts for cases / plates remain the same regardless of if a PCB is used or not. The only real difference is that with a PCB you can often get away with making the case a bit thinner as you don't have to account for the wiring.
@@joe_scotto I dont understand , of course the concepts is the same if we talk about the function etc, but the problem is , I dont know how to make one and aligned the hole with my pcb design.
I can appreciate that they made the MCU/battery/screen one super small assembly.. but from an RF stand-point that's terrible, lol. Basically building a little faraday cage around the wireless transmitter. Probably still works reasonably fine though, so it's a poor faraday cage at least.
I don't notice any issues with connection and my computer is in a bad spot compared to where the board is when I'm using it. There is a setting in ZMK that boosts the Bluetooth power.
Anybody know where to find stl for bottom and plate?
i have problem with the "ctrl+a" & "crtl+s" & "ctrl+f".These functions do not exist . is there any body with my problem?
i have this problem too
i have this problem too
i have this problem too
Could you use the pcb with a pro micro and use it wired instead? I like the pre soldered pcb.
Should be able to, the nice!nanos are just a drop in replacement for the Pro Micro. I would recommend reaching out to Typeractive directly to make sure though.
Could you share the code for the oled graphic setup on both sides?
It’s built in to the firmware when you fork it, I haven’t done anything with ZMK displays on my own yet but plan on it one day.
Can I buy only half? Can I use my own switches (Cherry MX)? Thanks!
Yes, they have an MX version, and you can use your own switches
Can they be used as wired (just in case I run out of charge)?
Yeah, when you plug them in they default to wired mode while charging. It also lowers the latency if you want to game with them.
Does it support choc switches?
They have a Choc option.
How long does the battery last on full rgb?
This board doesn't have RGB. If it was, it would be highly dependent on the size of your battery so anywhere between a few minutes or a few days is likely.
I was thinking that chord typing is possible in keyboards..like piano
teach us how to make chord typing keyboard...excited to see you do it
i don't get why anyone still makes flat head screws anymore. it's outdated and annoying.
is this lightspeed wireless
Bluetooth
Can you please make one that is 2.4 GHz has low response time
i like the build, but the sound is so plastic and hollow
Can this be made wired instead?
Yes, you should be able to substitute the nice!nanos for Pro Micros.
@@joe_scotto Cheers, appreciate it.
Can’t you use the nice!nanos wired to the computer too?
Joe, for gods sake, pls, make a video showing a easy way to program keyboads in something like a esp32. PLEASEEEE!!!!!
nah lets be real here for a second flathead screws don't do anything for looks its just lazy to not include hex or torx screws
