  Get your parts

  After ordering the Featherwing PCB from a PCB service or making yourself one with a CNC, double check that you have the correct amount of parts by ordering them or by recycling them from another mechanical keyboard.

  
  To assemble, there is only one way to plug both types of parts used in this project, neither the Feather or the keyboard switch can be plugged in the wrong order so if you are new to soldering, this project is perfect for you. All of the soldering pads have a nice large size so it can be worked with any type of soldering station.

• 2

  Solder keys

  Plug the mechanical switches without any particular order into the board and solder it's two pads to the PCB.

• 3

  Solder headers

  Solder female headers on the side of the Feather board.

  You can decide if you would want the headers to go looking up on the same side of the keys so the Feather will be on top, but can also be attached to the bottom of the featherwing by connecting the headers in the opposite side of the keys.
