Rotor Screw Tray R2: Organize Your Keyboard Build

Quick answer

Use the Rotor Screw Tray R2 to sort and store screws, springs, and small parts during your keyboard build, keeping your workspace clean and preventing lost pieces.

How to use the Rotor Screw Tray R2 during a keyboard build

1. 1. Prepare your workspace and tray: Clear your desk and place the Rotor Screw Tray R2 flat in front of you. Open all compartments so you can access them easily. Common mistake: placing the tray on an uneven surface can cause parts to roll out of shallow compartments. Ensure the tray sits on a level, stable surface.
2. 2. Sort parts by type as you disassemble: As you remove screws, stabilizers, and springs from your keyboard, place each type into a separate compartment. For example, use one compartment for case screws, another for PCB screws, and another for springs. Common mistake: mixing similar-looking screws can lead to stripped threads or incorrect fit later. Label compartments mentally or with small sticky notes if you have many part types.
3. 3. Keep the tray within easy reach during assembly: Position the tray next to your keyboard so you can grab parts without stretching. The non-slip surface helps keep the tray stationary. Common mistake: moving the tray out of your immediate work area increases the chance of knocking it over or losing parts. Keep the tray within arm's reach throughout the build.
4. 4. Clean and store the tray after the build: Empty all compartments and wipe the tray with a dry cloth. Store it in a drawer or on a shelf for your next project. Common mistake: leaving small metal parts in the tray can cause scratches on the anodized surface over time. Remove all parts promptly after finishing.
