Staff Reccomendation Comments:
This is the long-awaited aluminum case version of the Lily58, which has been very popular since the opening of the Yushakobo store.
Although the designer of the aluminum case is not the same as the Lily58 creator, the Lily58 PCB can be used without modification.
lulu's optional SMT PCB has the same key layout as the Lily58, but has the full key backlighting, underglow LEDs, and rotary encoder options that were not available on the Lily58.
If you don't want to use rotary encoder, you don't need to solder anything, so it's a good choice for beginners.
A variety of options are available, such as a wrist rest cut from EVA foam, tenting parts, and desk mats, so you can customize it as you like.
