Iris Split Keyboard

Laser_Ninja is making Tented Iris Cases
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.
And lastly, I offer several acrylic options that you can mix and match between the 3 levels of the case.
Ordering
The sale was closed in July with a few extras.
I will be opening it for sale with the next version of the Iris PCBs in early 2019.
These will be fully assembled so you just need to solder in switches. Other changes TBA.

Important note for buyers of my iris cases!
It has come to my attention that the right side of the case can be too tight due to the promicro being flipped the other way.
This can be solved by removing the plastic spacer so that the promicro sits closer to the PCB.
You can follow a guide here on accomplishing this: https://imgur.com/a/M9r3EW9
The right side of the Iris will have the connector facing the other way (away from the PCB and closest to the table).
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.
