Phendrana Assembly

Parts Needed

• Choc V1 Keyswitches
• Any Choc V1 Low Profile switch should fit
• 85 Switches needed, recommended to buy 90
• Choc Keycaps
• Other keycap sets work, but this keyboard is specifically designed for this set. Other sets or individual keys will create gaps between keys
• Choc Stabilizers
• 6x 2U Stabilizers needed, recommended to get the "8 sets"
• BL-5C Battery
• Ensure the size is over 1000mAh

Assembly Instructions:

Partial instructions for Phendrana are below, however complete instructions to build from scratch are unavailable.

Assembly instructions:

1. Unscrew top plate
1. There should be 5 screws on the left, and 6 on the right






2. Attach stabilizers to Plate
1. Be careful installing these, the plate is very thin, so they may easily break
2. It is recommended to install the stabilizers one side at a time. Preferably install the switch side first, then push in the other side (see third photo)






3. Attach some switches to the plate, and attach those switches into the PCB
1. It is recommended to attach around the stabilizers, to keep them in place
2. It is also recommended to test with a keycap, to ensure that the stabilizers don't bind
3. If stabilizers do bind, make sure the switch, and two sides of the stabilizer are sitting flat against the plate






4. Screw the Plate back into the bottom case
1. The screws shouldn't need to be very tight, however make sure the screws around the stabilizers are looser, otherwise the stabilizers may bind when typing
5. Attach all other switches into the PCB/Plate
6. Unscrew back battery cutout
7. Place in battery
   1. Note: The battery should only go in one way, the leftmost pin is V+, and the rightmost is V- (GND)
   2. Battery should be at least 1000mAh, it is designed to charge at 1000mA. Any smaller battery may be damaged if used






8. Attach keycaps to switches

Notes:

1. If any service is required - remove the battery first
1. If the battery is not removed while the PCB is taken out, it has a chance of ripping off the battery connector from the Keyboard

Please note the default key layer is:
