Are you addicted to the clicking sounds of your beautiful and impressive mechanical keyboard?
If so, this community is for you!
Here you can discuss everything about mechanical keyboards (and only mechanical keyboards).

Anyone else have one? I've been loving it so far! Feels great!
I guess my main question would be whether it makes sense to get this over any of the DIY (or other) flat low-profile QMK keyboards out there?
From what I remember, the price is somewhat steep on these things? That much steeper than putting together your own?
Depends on if you are willing to assemble the keyboard yourself or want something consumer ready I guess
Yep. THere's also how picky you want to be with the layout. For instance, I really would prefer a lower pinky-finger column than was provided on the Voyager and many other keyboards, whereas something like the Kyria is much more likely to be comfortable for me on that front.
The web-based Oryx configuration tool from ZSA is also pretty nice. As much “fun”/fun it was to learn ZMK and the process to update my Corne config, Oryx makes it very simple. Click, click, compile, flash…..and get on with your business.
Well, I use Vial on my Piantor, which is pretty great and even that flashing-step is not necessary anymore.
I'm interested in it because the tripod kit has quick magnetic attach/detach, unlike the Moonlander's. I'd want to mount it to the arms of my chair.
The only two things holding me back right now are the missing two columns of keys in the middle and the cost.
Unless I go DIY again, this will be my next one.
Such an exact setup is difficult to come by on the market.
The Iris might be my closest option.
How do you like it?
I really like it. Took no time at all to get used to, though I have been using a moon lander for about a year. Its nice and solid, doesn't slide around.
Great to hear!
What about the slanting feet, are the boards still stable with those? (have you tried them?)
Oh yes this is with this feet. No issues. The underside is metal so it doesn't flex at all
Nice!
