Getting the Hardware

In this page, I’m using the wired Allium58 GLP keyboard kit. You can get the hardware from one of the following links.

Installation Guide

This guide assumes you have the basic equipments (a screwdriver) , a soldered Allium58 GLP keyboard, compatible key switches (Gateron Low Profile) and the case kit.

Step 1: Secure the spacers to the PCB for attaching the acrylic OLED Display cover

Optional Step: If you want a sturdier build, add the silicone feet to the inside corners at the back of the PCB.

Step 2: Install the key switches to the top plate

Make sure the pins/ legs of the key switches are not bent before inserting to the top plate.

Step 3: Attach the top plate to the PCB

Hold the hotswap sockets and gently insert the key switches.

Step 4: Test the key presses

  • For the wired RP2040 Allium58 GLP keyboard, connect both halves using the TRRS cable. Next, use a USB-C cable to plug the keyboard into your computer. Open VIAL (get.vial.today) and test all the keys.

    Important: Never disconnect the TRRS cable while the keyboard is still connected to your computer. Doing so can cause a short circuit and permanently damage the controller. Always unplug the USB-C cable from your computer before removing the TRRS cable.

Step 5: Prepare the 3D printed bottom case

Step 6: Secure the PCB to the 3D printed bottom case

Step 7: Add the acrylic cover to the PCB

Please remove the protective film on the acrylic cover first.

Complete!

It's time to add keycaps to the keyboard 👏

The Allium58 keyboard series includes GLP (Gateron Low Profile), Choc, and MX versions. If you’re interested in other switch types, you can select them on this page.

For the wireless Allium58 GLP keyboard, please follow the guide in for testing the displays and inserting the batteries.
