In principle we start by soldering the only SMT part to the PCB, the SD-card-connector, this might have been pre-assembled for you. Then we do the resistors, and the diodes by bending them into shape.
I practice I decided I wanted to build up the keyboard first, but quickly ran up to a problem, all the holes for the keys were too small to fit the pins of the keys through, and I had to drill all 400 holes with a 1.5mm drill (through a stack of three PCB's) The I soldered the keys, and two connector strips to the PCB's. This is the result:.
