Step 1: Prepare to assemble the base

Here are all the items necessary for the base.

  • Mouse Base
  • Mouse Skates
  • (4) M2x5mm Titanium Screws
  • 250mAh Battery
  • Scyrox V8 Main PCB

Step 2: Place mouse skates onto the base

Feel free to place skates wherever you want! The guides are suggestions.

Helpful Tips

  • Remember to remove the plastic protector on each skate.

  • Our recommendation is to place at least 4 dots as shown.

Step 3: Attach the Scyrox V8 Main PCB

Use the (4) M2x5mm titanium screws to attach the PCB to the base.

Helpful Tips

  • Partially tighten each screw until all 4 screws are in the base. Then proceed to fully tighten the screw.

  • Position the PCB so that the screws center around the white marks on the PCB.

Step 4: Attach the battery.

Remember to turn the mouse **OFF** before attaching the battery for best practices.

It is also a good habit to test the battery now to make sure the mouse turns on.

Step 5: Prepare to assemble the top shell

Here are all the items necessary for the base.

  • Mouse Top Shell
  • Aluminum Foil Tape
  • (2) M2x5mm Titanium Screws
  • Scyrox V8 Side Button Daughterboard

Step 6: Tuning the left and right clicks

The left and right clicks will **NOT** click before this step is finished.

Start by adding 1 piece of aluminum foil tape to each of the clicks.

Helpful Tips

  • Test the clicks by putting the top shell over the base without screws. If the clicks are not to your liking, you can repeat Step 6 again to continue tuning the travel on the clicks.

  • Left and right clicks might require different number of layers to feel most optimized for you. We expect most shells to take between 2-4 layers of tape for optimal click feel.

Step 7: Adding the side button daughterboard

Mount the side button daughterboard with (2) M2x5mm titanium screws

Step 8: Connect the daughterboard to the main PCB

Attach the ribbon cable to the main PCB using the black latch. Start by lifting the latch for the cable.

Helpful Tips

  • The ribbon cable inserts into the latch with the white portion facing the camera as shown.

  • After closing the latch, turn on the mouse to give the buttons a test before closing the shell.

Step 9: Close the shell

Use (5) M2x5mm titanium screws to close the shell. (2) M2x5mm screws are left over as extras, in case a screw is lost or damaged.
