Iris CE - Low-Profile Split Ergonomic Keyboard (Pre-Built)
90-Day Return Policy
2-Year Warranty
The Iris CE (Compact Edition) is a low-profile Choc V1 variant of the popular Iris keyboard! Reprogrammable to any keymap layout you'd like with QMK/VIA! We've worked up case parts for the Iris CE PCB that offer a more premium feel than other ergo split keyboard offerings.
The spacing of the keys is more compact than a regular keyboard, so if you'd like the normal spacing but still have a low-profile board, check out the Iris LM.
Ready to use right out of the box.

Case Options
Begin your board journey with a polycarbonate case - the essential choice for a lighter, more budget-friendly option! Embrace durability and style from the start without compromising on quality.
Enhance your board's appearance with an aluminum case for a sleek, premium feel! Add a touch of elegance and durability to your setup.
Or channel your inner gamer with the atomic purple version of the polycarbonate case. Enjoy the lightweight, sturdy build that's perfect for your modern setup with a retro twist.
Go for a clean, fresh look with the frosted white polycarbonate case. Let those underglow LEDs light up the bottom tray.
Ergonomic Layout
The keys of the Iris CE are staggered vertically, allowing it to match the curvature of the tips of your fingers better. The spacing is slightly more compact as well, which shortens the distance your fingers have to move around.
Getting used to your new Iris CE keyboard may take a bit of time, about 2-4 weeks on average. Don't worry though, we've included a handy reference card with the pre-programmed layout to help guide you.
We've also crafted a blog post containing various tips and tricks for you to use.

Hotswappable Low-Profile Choc Switches
Go with the Brown switches for a nice tactile feel, or Red ones for a linear feedback. Or choose Whites if you like that clicky sound to go along with tactility.
Easily swap in other Kailh Choc V1 switches later on to fine-tune your keyboard.
Plenty of Keycaps to choose from
Like silk under your fingertips, yet solid like the earth beneath your feet. Create the zen minimalist and clean aesthetic look on your desk with this keyset. Let the cylindrical-shaped keycaps made of POM form around your fingertips.
Let your low-profile keyboard shine with these MBK Glow keycaps! Made with ABS material and laser-etched legends, these keycaps will let RGB backlight through, making it a perfect match for the Iris CE.
Black and White not your style? Then give your keyboard some more pop with the variety of colors available for MBK PBT Blanks! Plenty of colors for you to pick from to customize your board to how you'd like to express yourself.
Elevate your typing experience with blank keycaps for a more minimalist setup, while still looking stylish. Go with either Black or White to match the aesthetic that you are searching for.
If you like blank keys but still want RGB backlighting to shine through, MBK Dot Glow is the perfect match for you with laser-etched dots and ABS material.
Features
Change any key on your keyboard to anything you'd like, including macros, shortcuts, and key combos, using the VIA Configurator app. Your custom keymap settings are saved on the keyboard itself, so it'll be the same when you plug it into a different computer.
Need even more fine-tuning? Dig deeper by directly using QMK Firmware to unlock many more features.
Take your keyboard everywhere, as it's compatible with all operating systems, ensuring seamless integration with your setups. No drivers need to be installed, just plug it in and start typing away!
Every key has its own RGB LED shining through the keycap from underneath to give things a nice glow. There's plenty of RGB lighting effects to choose from in VIA, so play around to see what suits you best. Underglow RGB lighting is also installed to let some light shine through if you've got one of the polycarbonate cases.
Don't need the lighting? No worries, it's simple enough to turn off the lighting.
Take your keyboard everywhere
The Iris CE comes with its own carrying case, so you can protect your keyboard while on the go, with this hard-shell carrying case that holds each half in a mesh pocket. It also has elastic bands to hold cables.
Lightweight - The Iris CE configured with the Polycarbonate case weighs in just at 10oz/285g. For a bit more weight, the Iris CE configured with the Aluminum case weighs in at 13.5oz/380g.
The purchase process was great, the assembly was smooth, and the typing feels amazing now that I've learned the layout . I also got the tenting kit which I'm very happy I did.
The Iris CE has a nice high quality look and feel to it. Its built sturdily and looks good. Customer support is top notch. The view times i reached out to to get help i to a very fast reply.
Also the fact that the board uses a rp20240 chip makes it very easy to flash updated firmware to it if you want to use features that VIA does not offer.
The case it comes with is a nice added bonus.
Already recommended this keyboard to some of my friends and coworkers.
Would be even better if there were more switch choices (Ambient Twilight/Nocturnal for example) if you get the prebuilt version.
I had been using the Iris SE for a couple years when the CE came out. As a contractor, I use my own hardware for work and would sometimes take it with me to a client's office for a day. The CE offers everything I loved about the SE, but the carry case and lighter-weight build has been ideal for coming and going from the office. I purchased coloured blank key caps and love how fun they look. Extra bonus is my coworkers think I'm an alien when they see me using it.
Hi Elise,
Thrilled to hear you love your split-ergonomic Iris CE keyboard! That is the best and most fun bonus a person could ask for!
Happy Typing,

The board is awesome, absolutely no complaints. Looking back I would NOT get the white keycaps, but I am happy with the low profile/ergo combo.
Hi B!
Excited to hear you're enjoying your Iris CE split keyboard! Getting the keycaps that suit you best is important, for sure!
Happy Typing,

Had previously purchased another pre built from another vendor and I'm disappointed I didn't work with keeb earlier.
Great build quality, it is a great low profile keyboard. Have been super happy with everything so far.
