Build Guide: https://s.beekeeb.com/piantorbg

Pre-soldered Piantor Pro Keyboard is available here.

The feature of Piantor:

  • using the same layout as Cantor – the stronger column stagger making typing more comfortable for those who have short pinkies like me
  • diodleless & non-flippable – with the minimalist and error avoidance design, it can definitely be your first soldering project.
  • soldered in / hotswappable key switches – with the choc hotswap sockets, you can change and lube Kailh Choc v1 key switches when needed
  • breakable pinky column – you can convert the 42-key keyboard to a 36-key (same layout as Cantor Remix)
  • RP2040 MCU (Raspberry Pi Pico / WeAct RP2040 / WaveShare RP2040-Plus) – with huge memory in the controllers the keyboard can have 10 layers. You can also use the U2F flashing feature
  • supports C (QMK) and Python (KMK) based firmwares
  • programmable – you can use QWERTY, Colemak, Dvorak, Miryoku or any keymaps that you like

Variants

  • Hotswap version is slightly wobbly, but you can swap the switches by hand.
  • Soldered in switches are more stable but they are not hotswappable.

  • 2x MCU Raspberry Pi Pico (Micro-USB 2MB Flash Memory) / WeAct RP2040 (USB-C 2MB Flash Memory) / WaveShare RP2040-Plus (USB-C 16MB Flash Memory)
