BEFORE
YOU START
Please test the PCB by connecting it to your computer.
Download the VIA programming software from https://caniusevia.com/
When you start VIA, it should automatically detect the PCB as WT-75-C.
PCB
Break off the panelisation frame from the main PCB.
From there, go to the Key Tester and bridge each of the pads with a pair of tweezers.
Be careful not to damage the leaf-spring legs in the process.
You should see the key registering in VIA

WARNING!
Check connector head
orientation before inserting.
The female connector pins
are fragile and bent pins may
prevent the PCB from working.

ASSEMBLY
Install the stabilisers onto the PCB first before adding everything else.
If the foam layer has shrunk, you can stretch it out by adding the switches to the corners first.

Note that it is possible to build this keyboard without the foam layer and plate.

ASSEMBLY
Once you have finished soldering, test the PCB again to ensure that everything is working.

WARNING!
Check connector head
orientation before inserting.
The female connector pins
are fragile and bent pins may
prevent the PCB from working.
