Build Guide:

Portico75 is a keyboard kit. You will have to assemble it yourself. You'll also need to buy separately:

• Switches (79 required for build)
• Keycaps
  

Assembling a complete Portico75 keyboard will take around 60–90 minutes. See our written build guide, complete with photos, for a walkthrough of every step.

The default Portico75 layout can be adjusted in VIA Configurator.

Be careful when assembling the board. Do not overtighten the screws since this can lead to tension around the screws and cracks in the case.

Switches and keycaps are not included. You'll need to buy these separately.
