Using Keyboard Case with Arch (DanctNix) (complete instructions)

[Megamemnon]

Mind posting a photo of your shims? When I shimmed the keyboard, it stopped working on my Pro but started working on my PinePhone (though only the keyboard, no charging). So I would like to see what a successful shim looks like for reference.

I think this comes down to raising the 6 pogo pins and I apologize for my reluctance to undo my shim and redo it, but I will describe what I did as best as I can.

First, carefully pry the circled area away from the case. It is secured with glue and will pry away. Do it slowly, being sure not to break the plastic. It only needs to be pried away enough to slide a piece of paper folded a couple of times so that the paper shim can be slid from the right side back beneath the pogo pads on the far left so that all pogo pads are raised.

   

I cut a strip of paper that was narrower than the blue lines, which it will need to slide between (from the right side of the pogo pads). I folded this small strip of paper twice, so it was 4x thickness and about the size of the pogo pads. Then I slid it under the pogo pads from the right side, sliding between the two raised plastic pieces that surround the pogo pad plastic and angling it 'north'.

Here's a pic from an angle that is supposed to show how the plastic holding the pogo pads is now warped by the shim beneath it, forcing the pogo pads away from the back of the case to make better contact with the pogo pins on the back of the phone.
