In this section, you'll go over how to put the two halves of the enclosure together.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Step 1: Get the necessary tools

- #1 Phillips head screwdriver
 | 
			
		||||

		||||
 | 
			
		||||

You might need to use a bit of force to get the two halves together.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Step 4: Insert the screws into the base
 | 
			
		||||

## Step 4: Insert the screws into the base and apply the friction pads
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Two of the holes are for the countersunk screws, and two are for the socket cap screws. It should be pretty evident which of these is which.

		||||

		||||
## Step 5: Apply the friction pads to the base

## Step 5: Insert the ball
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Depending on slight size variations, you might need to push the ball in with some force, but it shouldn't require a large amount of force.

## Step 6: Verify that the Ploopy Mouse is working correctly
 |

Plug the mouse into your computer. The buttons should be clicking, and if you move the ball, it should move the cursor.

		||||
## Step 8: All done!
