To change the layout (default is US-ASCII), please loosen the screws that are fixed on the PCBA and the metal plate (the PCB has a white arrow pointing towards it).

Step 5:

Install all switches and ensure that the pins on the switches are straight before you install them.

Step 7:

If any key does not respond during testing, please remove the switch and verify that the pins on the switch are properly inserted into the hot-swap socket.
