      Layout

      Each half of the board is a 4x6 matrix with the same vertical stagger as the Ergodox and with 2-4 thumb keys. Alternatively, a rotary encoder can be placed at the upper thumb key of each half.

      Many thanks to Lewis Ridden (/u/GAMING_FACE) for coming up with this design.

      • On-board RP2040 controller
      • Switch support: MX-compatible only
      • USB-C port
      • MX Hotswap sockets pre-installed
      • 6 RGB underglow LEDs per half (12 total)

      Amazing Keyboard & awesome service

      I recently bought an Iris 8, this was my 2nd Iris and it's just an amazing design. It fits my hands well, the layout is practically perfect, and the ease of use, especially with the via support is fantastic.

      The customer service from the vendor is top notch, and if you choose ANY of their boards you will not regret it.

      IMHO - the Iris is his best design, but the others are extremely valid and whichever one resonates for you should be grabbed ASAP

      Love this thing, this is the 8th iteration and I have been using for 3 of them and upgrading regularly.
      Switching fully to USB c is so appreciated, even the connection between the plates it is perfect

      Amazing Product

      This is my first experience with a split/ergo keyboard of any kind and I couldn't have chose a better board - I purchased two, one was a birthday gift for a friend and the other for myself. It has been nearly 1 month since the boards arrived and my friend and I have both got rid of our old boards and strictly prefer the iris at this point. One comment i would like to make is one of the boards had an RGB node that was faulty causing some weird RGB issues, I reached out to customer service about the issue and they had a new board in the mail within the hour with a return label included. the customer service and the product itself both get a 10/10 in my books.
