I use a custom open-source ortholinear mechanical keyboard called the Lily 58 Pro that I built myself. This is a starters guide into the world of custom mechanical keyboards. I discuss how to go about choosing a custom keyboard firmware, using a PCB manufacturer to print PCBs, configuring your custom firmware, and some special features that I have setup on my keyboard.

Here is my hardware configuration excluding non-custom parts:
Key switches: Kailh Low Profile Choc Pink. (These are extremely light and I do not recommend them if this is a new layout for you. While learning to type of this keyboard I used Sunset Tactile Choc Switches from lowprokb. These have stiffer springs making it easier to learn to type. However, now that I am used to typing on this keyboard, I prefer a light switch).
Key caps: Clear key caps compatible with Kalih Choc switches. Thumb keys use pink key caps (to match the pink switch aesthetic).
Board: Two Nice!Nano V2 for each side of the split keyboard, each with a 110mAh battery.

Switches don not have any mods. I don't have any screens or RGB (for increased battery capacity).
