Intent

I need it when

Build a customizable split keyboard with premium materials and clean aesthetics

Lily Pad is a CNC-machined aluminum case designed in-house at Boardsource, offering a solid, high-quality feel with a modern, minimal silhouette and support for both solderable and hotswap PCBs for flexible customization.

Create a wireless split keyboard build with display support

Lily Pad supports wireless BLE builds with nice!nano controllers and is compatible with OLED displays when paired with compatible PCBs, enabling a fully wireless ergonomic setup with visual feedback.

Transition from a standard 60% keyboard to split ergonomic typing without major relearning

The 6x4x4 column-staggered layout keeps the familiar 60% key arrangement with all major keys intact, making Lily Pad the most approachable entry point for users curious about split boards.

Reduce wrist strain and shoulder pain during long typing sessions

Lily Pad's column-staggered split Lily58 layout promotes a more natural wrist position and reduces shoulder strain, providing ergonomic comfort for extended use and long-term typing health.

Achieve a clean acoustic profile with sound dampening in a split keyboard case

Lily Pad includes sound dampening foam in all case kits to produce a cleaner acoustic profile, and features tool-less tenting support with Booster Pack legs for ergonomic positioning and improved typing feel.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs a full-size unibody keyboard instead of a split ergonomic layout
  • User requires a pre-built keyboard and cannot or does not want to assemble components
  • User needs wireless connectivity without additional configuration or compatible controllers like nice!nano
  • User prefers traditional staggered keyboard layouts over column-staggered split designs
  • User has a limited budget and cannot afford premium aluminum case pricing
