# Wired Keyboard First Time Setup Guide

## Conecting your Keyboard

In order to connect your new keyboiard first pull out your TRRS cable and connect the two halves together. Next connect the USB into your LEFT hand of your split keyboard and then finally into your computer.

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember: When connecting always connect your TRRS first *then* your USB cable. When disconnecting, first disconnect your USB *then* your TRRS. Doing so will prevent your keyboard from crashing.
{% endhint %}

Your keyboard microcontrollers come preflashed, so you should see your keyboard light up and ready for use.

## Programming your keyboard

Our keyboards come pre-flashed for Vial. This is both an online and downloadable configuration tool.

* Online Tool - [Vial.Rocks](https://vial.rocks/)
  * Requires Chrome, Edge, or other Chomium based browser
* Local Tool, documentation,  and other links - [get.vial.today](https://get.vial.today/)

You will be prompted to pair your keyboard. From here we recommend your first step is to naviate to the matrix tester and verify all keys on your keyboard are working properly.

For instructions on how to [use Vial, check their documentation](https://get.vial.today/manual/first-use.html), and check our [Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@turkeyboards) for how-to videos and guides.
