Tangent's Master Forge Set-up Record

Out of the Box (Pre-Kickstarter Pre-Order)

ℹ️ The parts shown here are the contents of the Master Forge bundle of the PRE-KICKSTARTER PRE-ORDER. If yours is Kickstarter or post-kickstarter order, your contents might be different from this.

ℹ️ This box doesn’t include the Trackball Bolt-on. It will be shipped individually in the future.

Here are some photos taken during my unboxing.

A sticker is between the two layers of box.

After opening one more layer, I could see the tactical carrying case, deskmat, and other parts.

Things inside the carrying case

Inside the carring case, there are the device and the splitter.

(The splitter and the device were in seperated state when I opened the box. They might or might not be seperated in your case.)

Connect

I use the provided USB-C to USB-A cable to connect my M4G to my computer. Please connect the left port on the M4G to the computer.

Splitting the Digitizers

(Please don’t split the digitizers when M4G is connecting to the computer.)

I used the provided allen key to unscrew the two black screws on the bridge between two digitizers.

I carefully plugged out the center black part (Electrical Bridge), and I could slide out the digitizers from the mechanical bridge.

Those parts can be put on the cleat to prevent them from missing.

After that, I used the provided USB-C to USB-C cable to connect the left port of the right digitizer and the right port of the left digitizer. Then I could connect it to my computer again and use it.
