What you will need for this step

For one half:

• 1 x OLED screen
• 1 x 4-pin female socket
• Cutters
• Electrical tape (optional)
• Scrap cardboard
• Soldering iron and solder

Decide if you want to socket the OLED or solder directly to the PCB

Pros to socketing:

• OLED can be easily removed for troubleshooting or replacement
• the microcontroller under the OLED can be removed for troubleshooting or replacement

Cons:

• the OLED isn’t as secure. When turning the keyboard upside down I find the OLED will lever away from the microcontroller somewhat.

I recommend socketing unless you plan to travel with the keyboard (e.g. between work and home).
