Lily - HHKB 60%
« on: Sun, 25 September 2022, 16:57:39 »
    Lily

    HHKB 60%






    HHKB is a layout that I couldn't get used to for the first couple of years when I joined the hobby. Since then, I have grown accustomed to the Control key being on Caps Lock and have grown to love it.
    This is my take on what I think is the most beautiful layout for 60% (with thin side bezels) keyboards.

    5. FAQ


    • Any chance of WK or WKL?
      No, this will be HHKB only.

    • What colour options will there be?
      Answered in details section

    • What is the strip on the bottom right blocker for?
      They are indicator LEDs. The first one is for Caps Lock and the other 2 are layer indicators.

    • How many units will there be?
      I don't know yet at this stage.

    • Do you have a sound-test?
      You might be able to catch the typing sound in one of the meet-up streams but I generally don't do sound tests. If this ever gets built by somebody and they happen to make a sound test, I will add a link to it then.

    • Do you have a discord?
      No I don't but Epsilon Keyboards has created a channel on their server for discussions on the Lily here

    Love the design. I want the same design in a F13 WK TKL version - would be awesome! Just a light coloured bottom plate will also do. Don't need mirrored finish because I will be moving my keyboard around frequently. Can't be bothered to constantly wipe down with felt cloth.

    I think you lose too much functionality and it also means that I would have to flip the stabilisers on the enter key.
