The kit comes with the following parts
- Stacked acrylic case
- PCB
- Switch plate
- 1.5mm Allen key
Unscrew the 10 hex screws that hold the 2 top layers to the case using the provided Allen key.
Remove the plate from the case and install stabilizers on the PCB. You will need 3x 2u stabilizers and 1x 6.25u stabilizer.
Note: The Potato65 is compatible with PCB mount stabilizers only. You cannot use plate mount stabilizers.
Place the plate on the PCB. Make sure that the stabilizers are fitted snugly in the holes on the switch plate. Install switches in the stabilizer locations.
Optional: Install a keycap on each stabilized switch location and make sure they return properly and there is no rattle.
Install switches in all the other switch positions. Install the corner and center switches first for ease of installation. Make sure the switch housing is flush against the plate and that there are no bent pins.
Connect the PCB to a USB cable and make sure that all the switches are working using a key tester.
Gently place the plate and pcb assembly back in the case making sure to slot it USB connector end first. This will prevent the Type C USB connector from getting damaged during installation.
Place the 2 top acrylic layers on top of the switch plate so that the screw holes align and screw in the 10 hex screws using the provided Allen key. Be careful not to overtorque the screws.
Recheck to make sure all the switches are working and install keycaps on the switches.
