I made a mistake while ordering the parts for the Ferris Sweep: I only ordered one 301230 battery. I ordered the other one, but the >1 month delivery time is a bit long. I am wondering if it is possible to solder and build the keyboard now, while only installing battery in one of the sides, and use the only side only with USB-C. If yes, I have two more questions:

  1. Which side should I install the battery in? From my understanding, one of the sides usually works as a “hub” for the other side
  2. Is it easy to add the battery to a already assembled keyboard in the future?
  3. Are there any good tutorials for assembling the wireless variant of the Ferris Sweep? I have mostly been able to find resources for the wired versions.

    Regarding documentation, you could have a look at splitKBs Aurora series build guide. They made their own Sweep variant but it might just be similar enough to still use it as a nice build guide for your ferris sweep.
    EDIT: It also has a part about installing batteries, power switches and all the other stuff needed for a wireless build.
