Michael Martell –
Incredible. Having made several Corne boards, myself, the Piantor is a comfortable change. Very little difference but more ergonomic. I have however been telling people just to buy a product that’s premade and mass manufactured lately. That ended the moment this showed up at my door! This keyboard is a work of art! Litterally. Surpassing every expectation I had of it! I purchased the all aluminum top and bottom 3×5. I expected it to be light, but each side was quite hefty! Documentation, and buyer experience was top tier. Leo definitely went above and beyond through every segment of the buyer experience, before during and after the sale. I couldn’t recommend beekeeb or the Piantor pro any more! Just solid all around! I can’t wait to show it off!
