Noob alert - how do I put enter and backspace keycap
« on: Thu, 06 July 2017, 08:40:03 »
Hello, im upgrading a noppoo choc mini with o-rings and I actually don't know how to put those 2 keys in. I don't wanna break it. Just press the keycap down and thats it?

You should have some Costar Inserts that go into your keycaps that attach to the stabilizer wire - they are little white "loops"

Picture is blurry but it looks like there are black inserts in the keycap already? The ends of the wire need to go into these inserts. Easiest way is to take the adjacent keycaps off to give yourself a little space to work. Slide one end into the wire then tilt it to get the other end in. then press the cap onto the switch stem.

The inserts are there, they're just black and not white in color.
