Assembly

This page describes how to assemble a keyboard half. You will need a screwdriver for M2 screws.

Don’t use too much force when screwing the parts together or you can damage the keyboard.

1. Take the PCB, bottom part of the casing and 4 M2x8 screws. Put the PCB in the casing and screw it from the bottom.

2. Fit the top part of the casing into the bottom part, then screw the top plate to the PCB using 4 M2x8 screws.

3. Insert mechanical switches into the holes in the top plate.

   • Make sure that you put the switch in the correct direction — the pins of each switch should go into corresponding holes in the PCB.

   • When inserting the switch first gently put it on the top plate and then push from top such that it does not rotate — otherwise you may twist the pins of a switch. If the pins get twisted anyway then you can take out the switch and straighten the pins by gently bending the metal.

   

4. Put the keycaps on the switches. You may want to put the letters/keys in a way that reflect the keyboard layout that you configured in the keyboard configurator.
