Piantor keyboard (Cantor Layout with Hotswap) PCB only

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.

Note

• Don’t connect or disconnect the TRRS cable when the keyboard is powered. Always disconnect the USB cable first.
