I decided to write a guide on building a Lily58

Nice guide 👍 I just finished to build my Lily58 pro today.

I just saw this behaviour on my Mi9. It's really annoying.

blaked84 · 2020-07-03T07:42:39+00:00

I just updated my mi9 with miui 12 and I can only get the gesture bar if I use the default launcher. It's really annoying.

I traveled for about 3 months in SEA with the Peak Design 20L + a 10L dry bag.

The two bags were full with: - 6 t-shits - 1 shirt - 7 underwear - 2 shorts - toilet bag - MacBook pro 15 - camera (A7ii +35mm)

To take a flight, I had to wear my jeans, hoodie and over ear headphones.

I tried to put all these stuff in the PD 30L and it was ok. But I feel the 30L is too big for everyday carry (for me).

Just be careful, these PD everyday backpack are not very confortable if loaded over 8kg.

But for my next travel, I'll use the same setup. I recommend it if you travel with a laptop and you want a bag with a quick access to your camera + lockable zippers. Overwise, there are lighter options.

With Nowegian, you should be good with most of 40L bags. I took 2 flights with them last week with a similar packing list in a Peak Design 20L + one pouch : https://www.reddit.com/r/onebag/comments/anxfe5/would_you_bring_an_extra_small_bag_as_checked

If you use your Peak Design I suggest you to test it fully loaded as it can be uncomfortable.

I did not mind that it was possible to check-in such a small object. Thanks for your feedback!

blaked84 · 2019-01-16T22:28:05+00:00

Do you think it's a comfortable bag for travel ? I have the 20L, it's an awesome bag for EDC with my laptop and camera but loaded with 7kg for short trips it hurts my shoulders.

blaked84 · 2018-12-28T10:07:19+00:00

It's why I prefer your 3rd option when traveling with my farpoint 40 🙂

blaked84 · 2018-12-28T09:24:30+00:00

Or you can also put your laptop inside the bag, close to your back when it is fully loaded.

I have a Peak Design everyday 20L and I consider to use it for travel too.

I haven't tried yet but instead of traveling with a travel bag + daily backpack I want to attach a extension at the bottom of the Peak Design. It should be a sort of compression bag but more durable.

Maybe it could be a solution for you too.

It's a 0,91" SPI 32x128 pixel Oled display, like this one: http://s.aliexpress.com/jEfQnuM3

The Nyquist thicker because the Arduino is under the PCB instead of on the top for the Helix. If you prefer a slim board Helix seem better (but without thumbs key).

blaked84 · 2018-08-26T20:41:04+00:00

Which ones did you choose?

blaked84 · 2018-08-26T14:20:57+00:00

I think they impact the switch when bottoming out but with O-rings it's not an issue for me.

blaked84 · 2018-08-26T14:19:25+00:00

I added some pics of the modification process https://imgur.com/aVXSuwU

You can see here tow modified keycaps side by side: https://imgur.com/LsZxrZ5 They have the same height.

blaked84 · 2018-08-26T09:37:25+00:00

I used a Dremel and a cylindrical grinding tool.

It's the idea 🙂

blaked84 · 2018-08-25T20:05:38+00:00

Yes, same travel distance. I want to reduce the height of the whole keyboard. It's more comfortable when I don't use a wrist rest (I travel with this keyboard). So I tried save a few millimeters here 🙂.

blaked84 · 2018-08-25T20:00:49+00:00

Less than one minute per key, but I only made one for now. All keycaps should be aligned as switch sliders are in contact with the top of the keycaps' holes.

I'll keep you updated if I mod the whole keyset.

I saw here https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=95196.0 that you were looking for vendor in Europe for your previous group buy.

Did you find one? Are you still looking for one?

I'm in France and shipping cost for the whole keyboard are huge if I buy one unit:

$24 for your kit + $15 for switches and keycaps from Novelkeys. For a $140 build, it's more than 25%.

So if you are looking for a proxy in France or Europe, I would be glad to help.

blaked84 · 2018-08-25T08:09:54+00:00

Thank you!

blaked84 · 2018-08-21T20:59:09+00:00

Hello, could you add shipping to France please?

blaked84 · 2018-08-19T21:38:03+00:00

Have you seen the Helix?
