Install the per-key RGB

• If you have per-key RGB in your kit, install those first.
• Make sure that the Gnd pad aligns ! 
• The Gnd pad of the Led is the one with the cutout (top right pin on the picture)
• The Gnd pad on the PCB is the one with the cutout, and white circle (top right on the picture)

Soldering the audio jacks and reset buttons

• There is only one way the components can be installed, so there's no risk of messing up !
• Solder in the audio jacks
• Solder in the reset buttons
• When installing the reset button, take care not to short the pads to the vias nearby. The vias are the round metal holes.

Preparing the trackpad assembly

Install the 5 screw inserts:

• Set your soldering iron temperature to 200 degrees Celsius
• To make it easier, use a plier to hold the 3d print

• Using the soldering iron, place the heated insert inside the hole
• Apply little to no pressure, let the gravity do the work. Otherwise, you might push them too far
• If the insert doesn’t fall into place, you can slowly increase the temperature, but don’t go over 300 degrees
• Once the insert is 2/3 of the way in, stop
• Flip over the print and gradually push it against a flat surface, to make the insert flush with the print
• Move the parts aside and let them rest, while they cool down

• Install the left 3d print holder. Do not screw it in completely, we will do this later.

• Slide the trackpad into the assembly. Align the notch, just like on the picture below (at the bottom)
• Screw in the retainer

Connecting the trackpad ribbon cable

Please note: you do not need to desolder any resistors on the trackpad. Just use it as it came in the kit !

• On the Right side of the keyboard,
• Open the FPC connector
• Slide the cable in like on the picture below
• Close the FPC connector

• Slide the other end of the cable into the slot

Connecting the trackpad assembly

• Connect the other side of the ribbon cable into the trackpad assembly
• Make sure you install it like on the picture below - the blue part on the same side as the black dot

• If you don't have a case, screw in the 4 screws and tighten them like on the picture below.
• If you have a case, read further instructions below, after installing the switches.

Test the PCB

This step is optional, but highly recommended.

• Connect the keyboard to your computer - it comes pre-flashed with QMK
• Check that the cursor moves when you use the trackpad
• Using tweezers, short 2 pins of a switch. Check that it registers

Soldering the switches

Solder in your switches of preference.

Installing the case

If you got a case, here is how to install it.

On the right side, for the trackpad assembly:

• screw the bottom 2 screws
• screw the top 2 Male/Female spacers

• Screw in 3 Female/Female spacers
• Use the flat-headed black screws

For the left side, the process is the same - just use Female/Female spacers instead of the Male/Female ones.

• Install the 3d printed case, and acrylic plate

If you have a 3d printed bottom plate, install it now using the black chamfered screws:

If you have a metal plate, the process is the same:

Finally, install anti-slip pads into the 3d print or metal plate:

Please note, on the metal plate the anti-slip pads must be installed like above (7 of them) so the keyboard doesn't slip.

If you are going to use a magnet tent, you don't need to install the pads.
