Description
Each half of the board is a 4x6 matrix with the same vertical stagger as the Ergodox and with 3-4 thumb keys. The 2u thumb key can be replaced with 2 1u keys. The spot for the 2u has holes for Cherry PCB mounted stabilizers.There's also a spot on the PCB for a pushbutton switch to reset the Pro Micro for flashing.
The Name=
Named after Iris, the goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. The curvature of the top row is something like a rainbow, and keyboards are used to send messages.
