Step 14: Attach palm rests

The palm rest drops into the sled. M2 thread-cutting screws clamp it at the sides.

Don’t overtighten these screws.

Optional 5 mm shims

The palm rest stands on three legs. You can shim it to any height you like. The holes line up for 0 mm and 5 mm of lift with the default shims.

• If you plan to add padding on top of the palm rest, you’ll probably want the low position.
• Adhesive memory foam (1/4 inch) or adhesive-backed leather both work as padding. Foam is less durable.
• The fixing screws are the 4 mm M2 thread-cutting screws, the same as for the PCBAs.
