Iris Rev. 8 Hotswap PCBs

Great Keyboard

Enjoyed working on this build. Only purchased the PCB with no switches, plate or case. Used files found in the github repo to print a case. First printed the Phoenix case. Came out good, but I was not paying attention when glueing on the components so the rise things were miss aligned and angered my OCD gods when each half was not the same height. Then I also realized the PCB had underglow LEDs as well so I utilized files in the github repo to print myself a case in transparent PLA. Came out nice. One of these days I will master QMK enough to get fancy enough to do custom colors on each of the keys versus the defau† animations. VIA worked out of the gate, but I like the option of using custom macros so I compiled my own firmware via QMK.

Bought two!

I love these keyboards. I've had my first rev 8 for over a year now, and it has worked beautifully. I would 100% recommend it, the folks at Keebio are amazing to work with. Fantastic product!

Really excellent

I bought this as my first split keyboard, and the experience has been great so far. The assembly process was quite enjoyable, and all the parts feel high-quality and dense. It's worth noting that the acrylic middle layer pieces I received were quite loosely fitting out of the box, and caused some rattle in the typing sound. I see no need to deduct any points for this, however, since it was easily fixed by the addition of small drops of glue between the acrylic pieces and aluminum base plates. After this modification, the typing sound and feel are really wonderful, at least with the Gateron Pro Yellows I used. It's very deep and creamy. Creating and flashing my own layout with the board was extremely simple with the use of the online qmk configurator, and quite fun as well. The package arrived on time, and undamaged. Overall, I'm quite happy with my experience. This is a very high quality product.
