Iris CE - Low-Profile Choc Hotswap PCBs for Split Ergonomic Keyboard
$79.99
Coming Soon!
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.
Fully built, the height of the keyboard is about 19mm and is quite compact.
