The '''Iris''' is a small split [[Ergonomic keyboard|ergonomic]] kit keyboard with [[Staggering#Columnar_layout|vertical staggering]].
The layout was designed by Lewis Ridden, while the PCBs and case were designed by Bakingpy of Keebio.

The keyboard has the same small vertical staggering as the [[ErgoDox]] but with only six columns and four rows. There can be three or four thumb keys per side, where only the innermost corresponds to an ErgoDox thumb key: That key can also be 1×2 or split into two 1×1 keys.

The keyboard has a [[Keyboard controller|microcontroller]] on each side, using a 3.5mm TRRS jack for interconnect.
It was made to run the [[QMK]] firmware.

==Variations==
The circuit board comes win two variations: the regular supports [[Cherry MX]] and [[Alps CM]] switches. The low-profile keyboard circuit board supports [[Kailh PG1350 series|Kailh "Chocolate" switches]].

The first two (major) revisions had a [[Pro Micro]] controller board mounted underneath each PCB, and all components had to be through-hole soldered. Underglow is supported through a separate RGB LED strip.

Revision 3 comes with all components (except switches) already surface-mounted, and supports also a rotary encoder replacing the bottom/outer key.

==Trivia==
The keyboard is named after the goddess ''Iris'' in Greek mythology—the goddess of rainbow and messenger of the gods.
It was chosen because the keyboard's curvature was reminiscent of a rainbow, and a keyboard is used to type messages.

The Iris keyboard won the [[Deskthority_Awards#2017|2017 Deskthority Award]] in the ''Best "other" input device'' category.
