Pre-soldered Piantor (Cantor Layout with Hotswap) 42 Keys / 36 Keys Diodeless RP2040 Low Profile Choc Split Keyboard

This is my second piantor from beekeeb.

This new piantor v2 now features a USB C port to connect each half of the keyboard instead of using TRRS. I’ve been typing on it for a few weeks thus far and everything is working perfectly.

Thank you Leo 🙂

This keyboard is very well designed and built. To my knowledge is the only one commercially available that is mechanic,ergonomic, split, and programmable.

I chose the blue switches because I use it near other people and I am very satisfied with how silent it is.

I ordered the 42 keys version because I couldn’t imagine being productive with only 36, but after a couple of weeks I changed to a 36 key layout, and I think I am a little more productive, but for sure, I can feel my pinky has reduced the strain of typing to the side.

I liked the layout so much, that I ported it back to my other keyboards, I also own an Atreus and Ergodox EZ, which now have a lot of unused keys 😅

The only thing that I didn’t like, is that there were no keycaps with the home bumps, probably because I bought blank caps, a friend of mine also has one and gave me a couple of stamped keys with bumps, but I ended up buying some stickers and going back to the original blank keycaps.

Leo did an amazing job making this keyboard. The case quality is flawless and everything is 100% solid. The solder job on the chips looks so good I’d have sworn it was done by a robot. Also, my questions were answered extremely quickly. If I ever want another pre-built custom keyboard like this, I know where I’m coming.

I love my keyboard! Having support for VIAL makes it very easy to use. Leo also went way, way above and beyond to make sure that I am a happy customer; I will definitely buy from Leo again!

Keyboard works great and Leo was very nice during the ordering process also sending progress pics.
Would buy again

I simply can’t explain how much I love this keeb it is well build and beautifully crafted,
the keycaps are really nice and feels good when typing on it.

I can highly recommend this keeb and/or any other keeb that you can buy on this page.

My first ergonomic keyboard and I still need to get used to it but already convinced this will be my daily driver soon. The quality of the build is very good. I got hot swap switches which wobble not at all.

Leo’s response was very fast and it is a great product!
