Top/Bottom Plates
Plates for the Iris are offered in these variants:
- PCB material
- These plates are made from 1.6mm PCB material (FR-4)
- The flex is comparable to 3mm acrylic
- Screws and standoffs are in the interior of the plates
- Stainless Steel
- 16 gauge (1.56mm) 304 stainless steel with a #4 finish
- Note that the backside of each plate may have scratches on it, but they are hidden when the board is assembled
- Screws and standoffs are along the outside border of the plates
- Acrylic
- Top and bottom layers
- Same design as the stainless steel plates
The plates come with the following:
- 2 Switch plates
- 2 Bottom plates
- For the PCB plates:
- 16 M2 6mm screws
- 8 M2 12mm standoffs
- For the stainless steel plates and acrylic cases:
- 32 M2 6mm screws
- 16 M2 12mm standoffs
Switch plates are compatible with MX and Alps switches and support MX switch top removal. Note that for the non-1u cutouts however, the switches won't have anything on the plate to grab on to, so you need to be careful with alignment when soldering the switch.
Also, the plates currently in production have 2u cutout slots in the lower 2 corners, the all 1u plates are no longer in production.
