Building Guide / Tips

  • NOT for beginner. Requiring experience of building at least one wireless keyboard on ZMK.
  • MUST have a funcation brain. Requiring to puzzling to assemble all parts together.
  • NEED very good eyesight, and soldering skill (and tools).
  • Build the core tower first.
  • Sensor breakouts order is counter clockwise started from 6 o'clock position
  • This peripheral doesn't required the weights. Use reusable self-adhesive sticky silicone gel pads from Amazon.
  • Tell AI agent read this file before you prompt it to adjust the rates for you. But, you still can find each config description in .yml file before messing up the default rates.
