Follow Wermy's video guides but skip the board cutting and follow the teensy part. Each hole on the board I labeled so solder the corresponding wire from the teensy to the board, pretty easy to do.

Hey @helder
I have your original 1st batch board and @wermy on his videos connect L/R tactile ground together then to powe rboost. Do we just keep each ground tactile separate then attach them to provided holes on top left and right of pcb? are those connected to middle ground of board?

Yes the L & R you connect to the tactile switch, each switch has a GND and a labeled Solder Hole on the corners of the board you solder to the tactile switch. Then once it's connected you connect the center Solder hole to the Teensy.
EDIT: I just re-read your post @Thatbraziliann and you simply connect one wire from the tactile switch to the GND points on the corner and the other to the Teensy, if using the one in the first post then follow what I wrote above.

in wermy's video he has his board wired starting up, down, left, right to the teensy. your board goes up, left, down, right. do i just cross over the left and down wires from the pcb to keep with the teensy setup he has?

Yeah they aren't totally in order so you'll have a few that have to cross over each other.

You could always just reprogram the teensy to be setup like my board and the no worried about crossed wires.
