[IC]JRIS80-WK/WKL Quick Disassembly, Titanium Alloy Swappable Magnetic Weight

[Mykeyclub]

Hello Everyone,

Let's introduce a new project from IRISLab again. Thank you for your continuous support and encouraging us to launch the third project---JRIS80!

IRISLab aims to let customers experience better custom kits at a valuable price so that more users can enjoy the fun of custom keyboards.
And the most popular layout of customized keyboards is 65%, 75%, and 80%, so the third project is an 80% keyboard, and the JRIS product line finally fully covers the three layouts!

The JRIS adopted simple and beautiful design concepts, reflected in JRIS65 and JRIS75.
JRIS80 will be more different from previous products to show our progress and ideas while being beautiful and practical.

JRIS80 Information

Price : From 165USD~

Front Design
- WK and WKL are both available.

- The layout supports F13 Key + Tsangan Bottom Row, which looks more symmetrical, harmonious, beautiful, and compact.
In the position of F13, it can be used as a custom module, which we will provide as add-ons to make JRIS80 more functional.
- Adopts a LED light strip with a gold PVD stainless steel strip to improve the display of RGB to be more unique and beautiful on the front.


Side Design
- The simple and smooth design showed the original intention of JRIS80: Simple and Clean.


Back Design
- The JRIS80 still adopts the 2 weights but with a different design.
We connected the previous large and small weights to form a closed rectangle with an inverted triangle weight inside.
We use rectangles to express the concept of completeness and inverted triangles to express the sense of stability and strength.
It also represents that the JRIS product series has finally completely covered 65%, 75%, and 80% layout.


Rectangle Weight
- Anodized Alu Weight
- PVD Mirror Stainless Steel Weight
- Titanium Alloy Weight
A colorful design through multiple composite processing and coloring processes. The surface texture is used to decorate, and the fine and silky surface post-processing can bring a better tactile experience.


Swappable Magnetic Inverted Triangle Weight
- The inverted Triangle Weight highlights the personalized decoration on the back.
We use various composite processing and coloring techniques to display the surface pattern. Different designs are options
- The magnet installs way, allowing you to quickly swappable your inverted triangle weight.
- The three-dimensional carving of PVD Mirror Brass Weight will bring another different experience.



Structure
- CNC sandblasted PVD SS internal weight brings a more concise and beautiful internal space,
which covers the battery compartment and hides the screws of the external weights.
And it also makes the bottom case more stable and reduces the hollow sound sounds when typing.

- Triple Gasket Adjustment: The silicon dumbbell-looking gaskets let you adjust the typing feel depending on your preference.

Quick Disassembly
- Swappable WK and WKL top cases are easy and quick.
No screws or tools are required! No struggle with WK or WKL.

Personally would've preferred to see you deliver the Jris75 before starting on this. The GB for that isn't even over yet, and there is an issue you haven't responded to where the HS sockets are misaligned on the review units (both Alexotos and :3ildcat have shown this) such that the bottom row cannot be built properly.

You've not said if it'll be fixed on production units.

The JRIS75 GB ended on the 12th. And we have announced that we will fix that issues by adjusting the direction of HS sockets on our server and the GB post. And we did show the render photos of how the GB units of this HS sockets will be looked like. We also share that with the content creator, and they agree with our solution. We care about our brand, so we will not give the promise we cannot make. And they are different layout keyboards, so we did not see a problem with bringing this to the community quickly. And we just announced the IC. There are still 1-2 months to start the GB.

bunch of visual details taken from recent successful boards and mashed together, this ain't it

Personally, the weight design and Titanium Alloy finish are pretty unique.

I wonder why you guys stopped dropping GBs in China. A lot of people did not even know that a Jris 75 (Iris 75) exists. One of my friend wanted a budget 75%, and I recommended him the Iris 75, and he told me there is no such thing in China lol

[aicyborg]

Genuinely trying to come up with an objective list of things this offers and/or does better than the recent budget TKLs that were in GB this year or late last:

- More colour options
- Large RGB region underneath PgDn
- Brass piece next to RGB region
- Underside weight being patterned and having a separate triangle piece
- Ball-and-catch system (not always useful, but still a unique feature)

Unless you can noticeably undercut the QK80 in price, I can't see this making sense. You're coming after that, Velocifire CKW80, and Zoom TKL. Existing hobbyists that want a budget TKL bought one of those. I just don't see this working with this design. There just isn't enough here to be enticing. My advice is to wait, slow down, really hone the design and optimise this thing to be as low cost as possible.

It's just not it, as it stands.

I really don't know about this. For me the design just feels bloated. Ok probably not bloated but idk just slightly less streamlined. It looks as if you took designs from previous boards and throw it together. One thing that seems cool is holographic effect on one of the back weights. Also not a fan for the light bar and the accent piece on the front of the board so close together.

The IRISLAB studio will be dropping GBs of the JRIS75 in China soon. If your friend is interested, he could pay attention to it.

Thank you so much for your opinion. We understand that we are a new team, but we did work very hard to bring good design, quality, and service to the community. I know we are imperfect, and we still need to learn many things to improve details. We aim to let customers experience better custom kits at a valuable price so that more members can enjoy the fun of custom keyboards. So we listen, learn, and work for this. You said, " My advice is to wait, slow down, really hone the design and optimise this thing to be as low cost as possible." I am sorry that I disagree with this because I think a good design needs to listen to the community, and running the project is the best way to understand what the community voices. And honestly, the most feedback we received about this design is positive. But we respect and understand some community member doesn't like it. And we keep all the reasons in mind and discuss them. Everyone has their aesthetics, and we can only say trying to satisfy most community members. As for low cost, we are continually working on it but not sacrificing quality. Like optimizing production loss and optimizing the supply chain,  and these improvements only can be made when we run the project. We can't make it happen just thinking of it. Again, thank you so much for your sincere opinions.

Is the design its-self set in stone? Like it wont be fully redone just minor things? if not will we be seeing any polls on discord of altered versions of the board/designs very shortly?

This design is not fixed, please fill in your suggestion to IC form, thank you.

[aicyborg]

You claim the private IC form responses are very positive but every reply to this thread isn't particularly positive.

My opinion's not changed. I still think you should refine the design more or work very hard to undercut other competing offerings like TKLs like QK80 and ZoomTKL. Do that and then you might have something.

Thank you again for your opinions and suggestions. Even though I can't share the IC response with you. But you can check our Reddit post comment and join our server to check the discussion of this design.

I'm confused by the negativity in this thread as if we don't see the same layouts, designs, and mounting options in other custom keyboards daily. There's clearly a difference between each of the budget boards mentioned here. What's irrelevant for you could be a deal breaker for somebody else, that's why we have so many boards and keycap sets.

As per this board, I LOVE the Orange option! Would have gotten one just for the color if there was a no RGB decoration option!

[herfalerf]

can you show pictures of the plate and pcb?  It would be nice for people to see where the mounting points and flex cuts (or lack of) are on the various options. 

I don't really understand the negativity, either.  This looks like a really good deal, even when compared to the other "budget" boards that have released recently.  Not everyone likes the way that every keyboard looks and this one is certainly unique.  There are probably a number of more normal priced group buy boards that are not as nice as this.  The styling is not for me at all, but it looks like an objectively decent keyboard at a decent price if you like the aesthetics.

[aicyborg]

The previous two replies are right, and my second post was especially negative. Sorry.

Some constructive critique: I don’t like how the right edge of the RGB region protrudes out further than PgDn. On the left, the brass badge is only as wide as the Del key. It should only be as wide as those three keys to look more uniform. This could be a render issue.

Also a lot of your finishes are very pretty!

We offer both flex-cut and none flex-cut plates and PCBs, and we have updated the plate photo in the IC now. And we will update the PCBs photos later. Thank you so much for your support.

To bring a better JR80 to you, please Vote for the Front Design and PCBs to help us make a better decision.

[KBKlon]

Glad you're open to ideas for the front (not a fan of the current design).

Please vote the one you like

[Mykeyclub]

Hi everyone, please take a look at the updates we've made to our PCB. Due to the strong demand for non-flex cut, we have decided to change the soldering PCB and tri-mode PCB to non-flex cut PCB.

[Mykeyclub]

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you for actively participating in our JRIS80 voting. Your enthusiastic involvement is the most significant support and assistance to us. Here are the voting results for the front designs and PCBs: https://imgur.com/a/MHdED7B. Based on the voting results, we have engaged in active discussions and have ultimately decided to keep the original design. Thank you so much for your supports.

[aicyborg]

oh no

Edit: Another way to interpret the poll is that 62.9% of the respondents (i.e., the people who care enough to tell you what they think, be it positive or negative) think you should change the design, but that doesn't seem to be how you've interpreted the results. 37% saying they like it means you could maybe make that proportion of people happy by keeping it but you'll also dissuade many more by keeping it.

There are too many designs for votes, and this one is still the top 1. I think it must mean something. And according to the feedback, many customers are still ok with the design even though it is not the favorite one. We are sorry that it did not work out for you. But we need to respect the results which these support us by voting.
