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.

+'''How to purchase'''
-At the end of 2017, Eric of Aeboards asked me for a simple iris case. What followed was a few months of designing and testing a new tenting system to mod onto the iris case files provided by keeb.io (original seller of the iris keyboard.
+[[Contact|Send me a message]].
-I ran a small local GB from the australian keyboard discord server in May 2018 which went fairly smoothly. From this I learned from some mistakes made and iterated to the 2nd version which was sold in a worldwide sale. This ran smoothly except for a few extras ordered after the sale, which took a few months more to arrive due to the shipping carrier chose and proximity to christmas.
+[[File:Iris Pastel Pink 05.jpg|1000px|link=]]
-== The next iteration: Version 3 ==
+</div>
-The next version will have an improved tenting system that is even easier to adjust while keeping the same minimalist aesthetic.
-However, this won't be available until some time in 2020, after I purchase my own laser cutter.  There are things I need to sort out before producing the cases again. Good news is that once everything is sorted, I can apply my tenting system to any split keyboard and even regular boards.
-== Can't wait until 2020? ==
-Unfortunatly I can't help you out with one offs and I don't take commissions right now. However, the regular iris case files are available from keebio (check the iris pcb product page for links).
-Iris 3.0 PCBs are available and feature all components soldered on, so you just need to solder your own switches in. Much simpler!
