dactyl-keyboard VS Lily58

I love having a split keyboard. It feels far more ergonomic than a single piece keyboard. Just relax your arms and put each half where your hands are. No having to bring your hands together and angle your wrists to get your hands in position.

The other piece of the puzzle for me is curvature. On a flat keyboard there is more stretching or physically moving but adding in a bit of curvature helps cut down on that.

For a few years now I have been using a Dactyl-ManuForm [1] and it has been great. At least for writing / programming. I go back to a regular keyboard for gaming purposes.

Carbonfet's version of the dactyl manuform with custom thumb cluster and 1.5u outer keys.

These [two](https://i.imgur.com/idkihT7.jpeg) [pics](https://i.imgur.com/HmtXNor.jpeg) of some of my old builds should help show how they're wired. The wiring diagrams on the bottom of Tshort's original fork for the dactyl manuform [here](https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard) also illustrate how they should be wired.

Thanks! I modeled some cases using both the original Clojure project (https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard) and the Python port (https://github.com/joshreve/dactyl-keyboard), but ultimately decided to use a vetted model from Jesse at DIY Keyboards (https://www.diykeyboards.com/). Jesse is absolutely wonderful and helped me a lot in the beginning. Support his shop if you can! I used his fork of the python generator to get the .stl files for printing (https://github.com/diykeyboards/dactyl-keyboard) as well as some tips from him on slicer settings.

There a few other things like this but this is what I was planning to use... DM wiring guide

Thanks a lot for those images! that explains a lot! :D Also I was using this as reference for wiring https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard/raw/master/resources/dactyl_manuform_left_wire_diagram.png I believe they are using the Serial one? Also will the TRRS jack have indications which pin is for which?

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
