Step 4: Insert keys

Every key should slide easily into place and snap to its magnet.

If a key doesn’t slide in easily or doesn’t move freely:

  1. File a little material off the sides of the key.
  2. If it still binds, file the bottom (the chamfered back of the key base).
  3. Try the fit again.

This is how each key sits in its cluster:

A finger cluster with its North, East, South, West and Center keys, and a thumb cluster with its Pad, Knuckle, Up (Mode), Nail and Down keys.

The tipping center key replaces the older slider-based center key. Slider parts are deprecated.
