Those keycaps are very nice. What was something you learned from doing your first build?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

The keycaps are called Tuzi.

I learned to properly solder(I'm still not great at it, but by the end I started getting better). And basically everything to do with building a keyboard.

Here are the parts that I used:

PCB: Lily58 pro
MCU: Splinky rp2040
Switches: Akko v3 pro Lavender purple
Keycaps: Tuzi in XDA profile

With custom built cables, and just a front and back plate that I got along with the PCB.

Did not know you could use rp2040 chips with the Lily PCBs. Are they 100% compatible?

According to where I bought it from and here this specific MCU shares the footprint with a pro micro with extra gpio pins

Thank you! Never heard of this one.

Nice work! Looks clean and an awesome key set too!

What sort of layout you using? Any customisations you onto or thinking about?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I'm definitely gonna be customising my layout, probably often until I figure out everything I need. And maybe also do some custom stuff on the oleds too. Right now it has bongo cat that plays the animation when the wpm goes high enough (taken from here)

The keyset is called Tuzi.
