Lily58 Pro PCB

 

My Request: Lily58 w/ LEDs + Kailh Sockets

What I am requesting is a pcb of the lily58 that has both LEDs and Kailh sockets.

Optional request: The encoder slot as shown in the Lily58L Switch/Encoder combo is nice to have but I don't need it.

Picture: Lily58 Pro. Has Kailh Sockets. But no LEDs. Choc Sockets can be removed.

 

Lily58L No Issues (Has LEDs + Kailh Sockets + Encoder. Design not Free)

Best case scenario. The design is not free though so I need it designed. To buy a pair of PCBs is not possible in the USA and costs $28 Euros. The encoder design here supports both an encoder and a switch.

Design Files: None because this is what I need designed.

Lily58 Mystic - Encoder (Doesn't have LEDs)

This one is an optional request. I don't need a rotary encoder but it is nice to have if it doesn't take that much effort.

What is a Kailh Socket?

Picture: Kailh sockets soldered onto a PCB along with SMD Diode and SMD LED.

A Kailh socket soldered on a PCB gives a person the ability to swap out any mechanical keyboard switch they want without having to desolder. The ability to do this makes it hot-swappable.

Typically on a normal mechanical keyboard switches are soldered to the PCB and have to be desoldered to change switches. With the Kailh socket the switches can just be pulled out of the socket and a new one can be pushed in all without desoldering/soldering.

What is a Rotary Encoder?

It looks like this.
