What do you do when you’re in the process of building your keyboard, testing the matrix and realise that some keys do not work? Here’s a guide with some pointers on where and how to debug issues that you might have. Overview In general where to look depends on a couple things: This guide will …
Lagom supports an underglow RGB LED light strip. This is not included in the kit, but you are able to add a WS2812b (or similar) compatible LED strip to the underside (or case) of the Lagom using the exposed pins on the underside of the PCB. Where do I add the LED strip? You add …
We identified an issue affecting some Litl v2 PCBs. Read on to see if your PCB is affected and how to address the identified issue. Is my PCB affected? See photos below to identify your PCB If you have an unaffected PCB, then no need to do anything else! Your Litl PCB should be working …
One of the great things about building a custom keyboard is being able to configure the keymap in any way that you want. If you want something super straightforward and just like a laptop keyboard, that’s perfectly possible, or if you want the flexibility of macros and custom keys that have one action when you …
There’s a lot out there on the internet and beyond about mechanical keyboards, and it’s a large and complex place. But it needn’t be, here’s a little intro into why you might want to venture down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole and what the fundamental building blocks of mechanical keyboards are. Why build a custom …

Components required What’s included in the Litl kit: Printed circuit board, base and switch plate Diodes (47) M2 10mm Standoffs (6) and M2 6mm screws (12) (to build the case) Rubber bumpers for the base (2 big and 2 small) What’s not included (and you’ll need you …
You’ve built your keyboard and now you want to make it work. To do this you’ll have to flash your microcontroller. The exact specfics of how you do this depend on the microcontroller that you’re using, so take a look at their specific documentation. I will go through the process of flashing a Pro Micro …
