6. Tenting Your Keyboard (Version 2021-11-29)

6.1 Tenting your keyboard with plastic attachments

Insert the plastic attachments into the slots on the base plate. It's a tight fit so it helps to wiggle it in. Similarly, the attachments should be removed by wigging them out.

Don't use excessive force when pushing or pulling the attachments. It can damage the base plate.

6.2 Tenting your keyboard with screws

If you want to adjust the tenting to an exact angle, you can replace the two M3 screws with longer screws at your preferred length. The screws that came assembled with the keyboard are 5mm in length. Included with the keyboard are 35mm screws.

First, unscrew the two 5mm M3 screws that came assembled with your keyboard with a 3mm Allen Key.

Figure 6.3. These two M3 screws can be replaced with the longer 35mm screws.

Second, screw the hex nuts onto the tip of the 35mm M3 screws so that it's easier to push them into the base plate.

Push the hex nuts into the base plate. Finally, tighten the 35mm M3 screws until they do not wobble. There is another hex nut on the inside of the base plate, when the 35mm screw goes inside that hex nut, it will no longer wobble. Adjust the screws to change the degree of tenting to your liking.
