Split OrthoLinear Keyboard Build

Here at M5, I am the resident keyboard guy so we went ahead and purchased a Keebio Iris Rev. 8. One of the reasons we picked this one is mostly because it looks super cool, Split is self explanatory but Ortholinear is a little more interesting, it means that the layout of the buttons is not in typical keyboard fashion, but more tailored to the biomechanics of the human hand. We also chose the Iris specifically because it is built on open source hardware and software. For a controller each side has its own RP2040 micro controller and running on those is QMK, an open source keyboard layout language. Since I was really busy this week, I am just uploading a slideshow. A more comprehensive post will be coming soon!
