PCB Hardware that I used Aurora Lily58 PCB Kit from splitkb.com with:

  • RGB Underglow,
  • RGB Backlight
  • Choc Hotswap sockets

Microcontroller:

Case hardware Aurora Lily58 Low Profile Case from splitkb.com:

  • Top Plate / BlackFR4
  • Aurora Low Profile Case Hardware Kit
    • Here the M2x6mm screws, but M2x4mm screws are better and M2x6mm spacers

As switches I used Kailh Low Profile Choc Switches V1 Red

As keycaps I used MBK Choc Glow Keycaps Black / R2

As I didn't like the QMK only pre-compiled firmware from splitkb.com which made on the fly key-map changes hard I created a VILA keymap / firmware for it which you can find on my github https://github.com/Gabbajoe/vial-qmk/tree/splitkb_lily58 in the folder keyboards/splitkb/aurora/lily58/keymaps/vial or vial-liatris where I disabled the power led of the microcontroller.

In VIAL I enabled all features.

As I learned from my MX Key build the OLed screens did not offer any added value to me so I did not use them. As MCU Cover I remixed the Lily58 MCU Cover from @sungo I added a 5mm spacer that sit flush on the PCB so that I do not need to use the spacers from the Hardware kit which makes the Covers more stable.

As you can see on the pictures I printed the bottom part with a clear filament and the boarders in black.
I used PETG filament
