TL;DR

  1. Use a USB-A to Type-C or Type-C to Type-C cable to connect your keyboard to your PC.
  2. Connect to the right side of your split keyboard. Avoid connecting to the left side to prevent unstable cursor movement.
  3. Never unplug or plug-in the Type C or TRS cable while the USB-C connection is still active. Doing so can cause issues. Some people experience problems even after making this mistake once, so be cautious.
  4. The type-c port in the middle is used to connect between splits only.
  5. Insert your switches directly to your board. MX build comes with poron foam. For Choc builds, there’s a gap between the switch and the switch plate which is normal, this allows you to use a switch puller.

How to properly setup / connect your split keyboard

  1. First, connect the left and right halves of your keyboard using the TRS/TRRS cable. Ensure that the cable is fully inserted but not forced violently.
  2. Insert a USB-C (or Type-C) cable into the right side of your split keyboard.
  3. Note that you don’t need to insert a USB-C cable into both sides; only the right side requires it.
