Iris CE Keyboard Kit
The Iris CE (Compact Edition) is a low-profile 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 Iris CE is a great ergonomic keyboard for newbies! This kit is easy to assemble with the hotswap sockets on the PCB (no soldering needed!), just supply your own screwdriver and follow our build guide.

Case Options
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.
Also, if you want to see how well the keyboard will fit in your hands, we've made a printable PDF for you to try it out: Letter / A4
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
