Assembly
Do a fit-check of your switches, keycaps, encoders, and oled panels before soldering anything! Check the default keymap page to make sure your oled/encoder placement is correct.
- 1.Install stabilizers, rotary encoders, or OLED panels.
- 1.OLED panels must be soldered flush with the pcb or as close as possible. Trim the header pins and do a fit check before moving forward.
- 2.If you're using the 3d-printed OLED mounts, use 4 small pieces of wire to connect the panel to the board. Do a fit check with the plate in place.
- 3.Trim the rotary encoder pins as short as possible.
- 2.Install standoffs into the plate.
- 1.For gasket-mount, follow the guide image below. Tighten the screws so the bottom of the screw head is flush with the top of the plate.
- 3.Assemble the switches and PCB onto the plate, without soldering any switches.
- 4.Remove the yellow tape from the DIP switches.
- 5.Configure the DIP switches according to the guide on the LED PCB, shown below. The default firmware has left as the master and right as the slave.
- 1.Test the PCB! The LEDs won't work properly on both halves until you finish step 7.
- 6.Solder your switches into the PCB. There are many guides online for this, Adafruit has a good reference guide.
- 1.Some switches with locating pegs may require clipping to fit with the LEDs. These include the 2u thumb positions, and some of the 1.5u inside positions.
- 7.If you're using a regular case/ no case, solder the JA pads together on the LED PCB. If you're using a Full hand frame, solder the 3 JB pads.
- 8.Attach rubber feet and/or tenting feet to LED PCB.
- 9.Screw the LED PCB onto the standoffs installed earlier.
- 10.Optional: Install the frame onto the LED PCB using included screws.
- 11.Optional: For the Full hand frames, solder the included jumpers to connect each of the two PCBs. Then install the frame.

- 1.Solder the 3 JB pads on your LED PCBs, and make sure the JA pads are not soldered together.
- 1.You should be able to drag the solder out of the JA pads without a desoldering iron.
- 2.Using the 4 included jumper wires, connect the wrist PCB to the main LED pcb as shown below.
- 3.Attach the LED PCB assembly to your PCB & Plate
- 4.Secure the Starfighter frame to the assembly with the 5mm and 8mm screws
- 5.Attach the wrist rests to your case
Jumpers to attach extra LED PCB for either Starfighter or Polycarb fullhand cases.
