The SMITH+RUNE team has taken the IRON165r2 and chopped off a row of keys! Well they did a bit more than that, making small changes and tweaks along the way to further improve the IRON design, but it sounds a lot more fun describing it that way.

Optimized Plate, the Process, and FEA analysis
Using FEA (finite element analysis) we were able to measure the simulated force on each switch plate hole to see how the plate would react to this force. The maximum displacement was recorded for every switch plate hole and relief cuts were added to the plate (iteratively) to try and make the displacement equal across all switch holes. The results are measured in max displacement in mm 10^-2. See the original IRON165 IC for details on how we went through testing methods.
