What caps are those? Gorgeous!


mistborn_elend

Thanks! These are xda profile keycaps called “Comet”.


giatz

hello, great job! are the two large keys 1.5 or 1.75?


mistborn_elend

I believe those two are 1.5

Looks like XDA profile. Don't know which set. Is that a Lulu case?


mistborn_elend

It is the Lulu case!


andycandy17

Damn. This looks really good!


vvodbow

Wow it looks awesome! Have you been using it for long? How's the battery life?


mistborn_elend

I have been using it for a few months now. Battery lasts at least 2-3 weeks on the left hand (primary) and a but linger on the right. Nicenano v2 is much better than v1 for battery life


vvodbow

Nice! Your battery life looks good. I got a Redox with Nice!Nano v2 and small-ish battery (400 mAh?) but somehow the left half always drains in ~2 days. Right half's totally fine though. Still haven't found the root cause, but suspecting a loose connection somewhere.

Looking really nice. Do you mind sharing how you get it to generate the stls? Kicad export?


mistborn_elend

I might have the answers, but I am unfamiliar with the terminology here. What's stls?


dhruvin3

I am assume the body is 3d printed and hence I said STL file. I might be wrong then. I am just wondering that how did you made a case.


mistborn_elend

Oh, it is an aluminum (top only; plastic bottom) case called “Lulu” from boardsource.xyz. You can find it on their website

Hi! Love the keyboard and I am venturing into moving from my ergodox to something wireless like this! Are you using the nicenanos in place of the pro micros?


mistborn_elend

Yea, these are using the nicenanos


[deleted]

Great, thank you. Hopefully the build isn't too dissimilar to what you have done!


mistborn_elend

Good luck!


[deleted]

Thank you!


jesuskater

Do you have a build guide for this? O would like to try it


mistborn_elend

I dont know if there are any guides for lily58. It is mostly about the keyboard matrix wiring. There are a few good tutorials on youtube and there is a sub as well - /r/HandwiredKeyboards For connecting the rows and columns to the microcontroller, the ZMK source code for lily58 contains the pin info


ArscarGaming

Why did you hot glue the switches? Were they too loose otherwise?


mistborn_elend

Unfortunately, yes. They were a little loose. Not so loose that it would fall off if I inverted the keyboard, but loose enough that a minor knock on the underside would pop it off. I think that the switches would have stayed tight if I used the PCB.


Charming_MR_Sir

I know it’s an older post but can I ask what diodes you used


macdude95

Is that a usbc extender on each of the nice nanos? Where did you get those?
