| + | === Why are the instructions in it's own bag? === | ||
| + | This is to keep it as flat as possible and protect the sheet + stickers. If it was packaged with the iris case, the instructions and/or stickers would be creased and bent as the whole thing is wrapped. | ||
| − | + | I could fold it twice (instead of once) but I want to minimise the number of fold lines on the instruction sheet so it looks nicer (and it could still get creased on the corners, iris is not a rectangle). | |
| − | + | === Why is there so much packaging? (the zip lock/self seal bags) === | |
| + | Some parts need to be kept separate such as the aluminium standoffs and thumbscrew feet. If not, the anodisation can get scratched off. | ||
| + | The screws and M2 standoffs are separate because it was easier to pack, this will be consolidated in the future. | ||
| − | + | I've also left branding/markings/labels off most of the bags so that they can be reused. They are thicker and should last longer ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). | |
| − | |||
| + | === Why is there no tracking or insurance? (international deliveries) === | ||
| + | It would be extremely expensive. Tracked, insured and with signature on delivery would cost at least $48 AUD to the US (where I have charged $20). | ||

| − | |||
| + | === Will it be sold again? When? === | ||
| + | Yes, but not until early 2019. I have many projects in the works and want to at least wait for the next version of Iris PCBs to come out. | ||
| − | + | These PCBs are still in development but it will be fully assembled. This raises the cost but reduces the build time significantly. | |

Tented Iris Cases
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.

- USB C cable to connect to your computer
- Switches (52-56)
- Optional rotary encoders
- Optional stabilisers for 2u keys
- Compatible ortho keycaps
