precautions

Please read the “FAQ” for questions or problems after or during assembly.
As for the acrylic plate included in the package, please remove it carefully as it may be scratched when you remove the protective seal. Wetting it with water, etc. will also make it easier to peel off. Returns and refunds will not be accepted due to scratches.
Due to the nature of acrylic plates, scratches and cracks may occur rarely during processing and transportation. Due to the nature of the product, it is assumed that these points were agreed upon at the time of purchase, and returns and refunds will not be accepted due to scratches in the same manner as above.
Specifications and prices are subject to change without prior notice. Please read the terms and conditions on the sales page for details.

注意事項

This build guide is illustrated using a prototype.

Some screws are different from those included in the package, but priority will be given to those included in the package for the complete set of parts.

Please understand that we are not responsible for any loss or damage to your property.

STEP

アクリル保護フィルムを剥がす

First, remove the acrylic protective film.

Although very tightly glued, peel off the edges of the acrylic release paper with your fingernail and then slowly peel it off.

If it is difficult to peel off, one method is to place it in lukewarm water.

STEP

ボトムアクリルにゴム足を取り付ける

Install the rubber feet referring to the illustration.

STEP

トップアクリルにネジとスペーサーを取り付ける

Install the top acrylic so that the short edge of the top acrylic is on the left side, insert screws from the top and apply spacers from the bottom to screw it in place.

STEP

スイッチをはめる

Place the top acrylic on the board and fit the key switch.

For HiPro kits, only Cherry MX compatible keyswitches are available.

For LowPro kits, Kailh choc v1/v2/Gateron LP3.0 key switches are available.

Pay close attention to the type of keyswitch, as the switch socket to be used depends on the type of keyswitch.

STEP

キーキャップをはめる

Fit the keycap.

Note that the keycap position is different for 30% layout/40% layout.

STEP

トップアクリルにネジとスペーサーをつける

Attach screws and spacers for the Artisan acrylic plate to the top acrylic.

As shown in the figure, insert the screws from the bottom side and install the spacer on the top side.

STEP

アルチザンアクリルプレートを取り付ける

Place the artisan acrylic plate on top of the spacer and screw it on top.

Please select one of the plates with/without holes as you prefer.

The center keyswitch is “Cherry MX compatible only”. There is no mechanism to fix them with an acrylic plate, which is a specification.

Only the LowPro kit comes with a dedicated key switch.

Attach your favorite artisan keycap of your choice.

STEP

ボトムアクリルを装着する

Finally, screw the bottom acrylic in place and you are done.

About keycap placement

For the keycap set, we have included several keycaps that are not marked with common symbols. This is because the placement of specific keys on a small keyboard differs depending on the user, and therefore, adding specific symbols would make it difficult to use the keyboard. The keycaps are all the same height and inclination, so they can be placed in any position.
