      Iris hotswap build guide

      This keyboard uses the popular open-source QMK Firmware with VIA enabled out of the box to allow you to remap all the keys just the way you want them.

      Plug your keyboard in, open up the VIA app, and easily change what each key does to get the most out of your keyboard with your customizations! More info on what you can do here: VIA Usage Guide

      Economy (Iris PE)

      Sandwich-style case using a pair of plates and optional acrylic middle layer

      Standard (Iris SE)

      Aluminum, tray-mount case with silicone dampeners

      Premium (Iris AE)

      Hi-profile aluminum case with built-in 5-degree tent

      The rotary encoder pins are not hotswapped, so encoders need to be soldered in if installing them.

      Really excellent

      I bought this as my first split keyboard, and the experience has been great so far. The assembly process was quite enjoyable, and all the parts feel high-quality and dense.

      It's worth noting that the acrylic middle layer pieces I received were quite loosely fitting out of the box, and caused some rattle in the typing sound. I see no need to deduct any points for this, however, since it was easily fixed by the addition of small drops of glue between the acrylic pieces and aluminum base plates.

      After this modification, the typing sound and feel are really wonderful, at least with the Gateron Pro Yellows I used. It's very deep and creamy.

      Creating and flashing my own layout with the board was extremely simple with the use of the online qmk configurator, and quite fun as well.

      The package arrived on time, and undamaged.

      Overall, I'm quite happy with my experience. This is a very high quality product.

      Love it!

      Really nice build quality on this, the thumb cluster is well designed, pops right up in VIA for easy remapping. I do wish we had south facing LEDs but thats minor. Highly recommended!
