Lily58 VS vim-clutch

The hardware is one half of the DIY split ergo-mech Lily58: <https://github.com/kata0510/Lily58>

The FrogPad-inspired part is the firmware/layout for only one hand.

You will need to do further testing with a multimeter to determine what is connected that shouldn't be. This may be easier if you look at the pcb design schematics.https://github.com/kata0510/Lily58/tree/master

You can find it here on the official github repo https://github.com/kata0510/Lily58/tree/master/Pro/PCB

Hello everyone, I've wanted to get into ergo keyboards for a while now and this holiday season I've decided to give the gift of less wrist problems to family and friends, but I can't be sure that all the parts I'm looking for are exactly what I need, I've been looking at AliExpress and trying to buy the stuff to make a couple of lily58-pros as detailed in: https://github.com/kata0510/Lily58/blob/master/Pro/Doc/buildguide_en.md also will probably print the PCBs on jlcpcb

After the release of Corne GLP, there has been significant interest among community members in trying out Gateron Low Profile switches. That's why I created Allium58 based on the Lily58 Pro created by kata0510.

The Lily58 github page doesn't have a gerber.zip. I downloaded Kicad (first time using it) and was able to produce a gerber for the right PCB, but I don't know how to mirror the design to create the left PCB. Any idea how to do this? I tried the mirror button in the toolbar but some parts came out not aligned properly.

I went for a lily58 as my split keyboard and they have a pretty good build guide https://github.com/kata0510/Lily58/blob/master/Pro/Doc/buildguide_en.md

After some initial research, I've found a couple of models that seem to meet my requirements: the Lily58 and Redox-w v2.

Only found adobe illustrator files. https://github.com/kata0510/Lily58/blob/master/case/Lily58_case.ai

You mean something like this?

Just wait until someone shows him vim-clutch.

I used the same idea when setting up long-range WiFi (couple of KMs) via antenna for a mesh network.

In order to get the best latency/bandwidth, you need to point the antennas with precision at each other, and in order to know if you're pointing it right, you need to run some tool on a display at the same time, like `ping`, and see when it gets lower when you're pointing it right.

So rather than having to look with one eye towards the horizon, and one eye on a screen to see a tiny number (which I found impossible), I made a quick script that outputs a beep each time ping returns output, with the frequency being higher when the latency got lower. So now I could focus solely on the horizon while using my ears to hear if I was getting in the right direction.

Lots of fun, super useful and makes me wonder (just like you) what other tooling we could use more senses with, rather than just our eyes.

Im thinking about an improvement, where instead of pressing modifier keys, you simply use 2 vim clutches one for the row above and one for the one below

About two weeks ago, I posted a picture here about a vim clutch (a.k.a. vim pedal) that I got as a present from a friend. Its function is very simple: when you press the pedal, it types i and takes you to insert mode. When you release it, it types ESC and you are back in normal mode. Under the post, fellow redditors started to discuss whether it makes sense for the pedal to type i? Most people were guessing that o and a would be used much more often. I thought, "hey, why don't I just measure it for a couple of days and create statistics about it?"
