IRON165 R2 Keyboard Kit


About this keyboard

For round 2, the IRON165 received numerous optimizations and tweaks as well as a fresh new bottom weight design and contrasting color scheme.

Improvements include deeper gasket pockets, allowing the use of the same poron gaskets but with less overall compression. This provides an improved typing experience and makes the case easier to assemble.

The board also saw a 0.25mm top case height increase while still maintaining the same overall switch height relative to the desk. This affords the user the same great typing experience but better "hides" keycaps that aren't as naturally deep as GMK such as ePBT, providing a seamless aesthetic.

This new all-aluminum take on the IRON165 represents the base or standard model, but is anything but standard.
