This is a split keyboard PCB sold on keeb.io. I have modified the original case design to allow tenting - angling the board for improved comfort and ergonomics.

The two most common methods are using an off the shelf bolt or an expensive ergodox kit, both of which are supported by the keebio cases.

My design however is minimalist and clean, using anodised aluminium parts which look great and are not that expensive.
 
  
They also allow for variable tenting angle interchangeable standoffs - the taller it is, the sharper the angle it will be.

The right side of the Iris will have the connector facing the other way (away from the PCB and closest to the table).  
+
Without the plastic spacer, the promicro might be too close to the switch pins. Trim down the switch pins as much as possible and apply insulating tape if it looks like it will touch and create a short.
  
You may need to apply some electrical tape (or similar) if the promicro is too close to the switches - please trim the switch pins down as much as possible.

Some parts need to be kept separate such as the aluminium standoffs and thumbscrew feet. If not, the anodisation can get scratched off.

Tented Iris Cases

Iris Pastel Green Black 01.jpg


The Iris is a split ergo keyboard designed by keeb.io.

I developed the tented iris case in 2018 as an inexpensive and elegant solution for tenting (tilting) the case. It has been updated over the years to support the latest PCB versions, of which there are many.

The tenting system works through standoffs that change the angle the board tilts (side to side). Three sets of standoffs/legs are provided.

Each case comes fully assembled including an acrylic plate.
