## Optionally
Part name | Quantity | Remarks | Photo |
| ------- | -------- | ------- | ----- |
| [OLED module](https://keycapsss.com/keyboard-parts/parts/80/ssd1306-oled-lcd-display-0.91-inch-128x32-i2c-white) | 2 pcs | It is possible to use only one display ||
| SK6812 Mini-E | 60 pcs |RGB LEDs for keycap backlight **(underglow LEDs must be soldered, because they are connected in series)** ||
| [Rotary encoder](https://keycapsss.com/keyboard-parts/parts/59/rotary-encoder-with-switch) |0-2 pcs| One per side are supported. |
| [Mill-Max Single Row Socket Headers](https://keycapsss.com/keyboard-parts/parts/100/single-row-socket-headers-pins-mill-max-series-315), or [Spring-loaded pin headers](https://keycapsss.com/keyboard-parts/parts/91/spring-loaded-pin-headers-12-pin-2pcs-conthrough), | 4 x 12 row headers | To make pro micro Hot-swappable. Highly recommended to get the header pins too (You can use diode legs if you don't get the header pins)|
## Case files
Drawings (SVG, DXF) for the case are located in the [plates folder](plates/).
## Firmware
Clone/download the QMK firmware and execute the following in the [qmk_firmware](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware) directory to write the default Lily58L keymap
make keycapsss/kimiko:default:avrdude (for pro micro)
When **`Detecting USB port, reset your controller now...`** is displayed, press the reset button on the keyboard to start writing.
Each half of the keyboard must be programmed separately using this approach.
If you're using DFU bootloader (in case of the Puchi-C or Elite-C), replace the 'avrdude' with 'dfu'
