After four years of IRON series keyboards we wanted to bring something to the table (or desk) both brand new and extremely special. The Alice layout has been requested nearly as much as the original 165 so we thought it was time to finally bring this to life. Leaving no stone unturned we applied our classic IRON design language to this quirky, ergonomic layout while creating something uniquely ours at the same time.

TIMELESS DESIGN, MODERN FEATURES

Just like our very first IRON series keyboard, the IRON165 SE, this limited release features a giant through-hole weight and a simple yet very effective full isolation gasket mounting system, but we've jettisoned the brass for a huge 2.75 lb stunning copper weight. At the same time we've dramatically reduced the compression on the plate between the gaskets. This makes the board a lot easier to build and leads to a "softer" typing experience.

While the clean lines and modern industrial aesthetic appear unchanged the IRON Alice represents the culmination of four years of improvements where we've continued to iterate upon this time-tested design. Put simply, we think the IRON Alice offers the best typing experience in the series yet.

Form meets function creating subtle beauty in every angle and curve without sacrificing anything you’ve grown to love about IRON.
