Build

  1. Cut free the two sides of the board.

  1. Add switches to the corners of the switch plate.

  1. Attach the PCB to the switch plate ensure that the switch prongs line up and do not bend. Once done, finish adding the rest of the switches in via the switch plate. Do not add keycaps on until a later stage as they make screwing the bottom plate in difficult.

  1. Screw in the spacers to the bottom plate. Ensure not to tighter too much as this can damage the PCB and/or spacers.

  1. Place the PCB and switch plate on top of the spacers and screw them in. Ensure not to tighter too much as this can damage the PCB and/or spacers.

  1. Add cushions to the bottom plate.

  3. Repeat all steps for the opposite side.
