Lily58 Pro Modified Acrylic Base Plate for 1000mAh Battery | kriscables (lemmy.world)

Little shenanigans on my Lily58 Pro I know it doesn't looks fancy, nor clean, but there is no good option for that in the conditions i wanted, unfortunately, having that big ass 1000mAh battery. I could make it look more clean with the price of using much longer standoffs, having the battery between the PCB and base plate, making the overall height of the keyboard higher about 6mm, which i wanted to avoid that at all cost. So i had to sacrifice the fanciness for practicality, cutting out the acrylic base to accommodate the 1000mAh battery. I don't see at the moment a better way, but if someone do have suggestions i am happy to hear them

Hi, that's a tenting case that does come with stainless steel M5 bolts and nuts that you can adjust to your height preference. I do sell them here: https://kriscables.com/product/lily58-pro-acrylic-tenting-case-kit/

I have cut the acrylic to exact size of 1000mAh battery. Probably i would recommend to position the battery where i have cut my logo in the middle of the base for 2 reasons:

under the controller there are sharp pins, which would be safer to avoid having the battery under them, just to be safer
if you would like to use the tented case as a normal case you could place a rubber feet where the battery is

Just my personal notes and suggestion, but this way it works for me
