Are we ever going to get another revision of the Planck?
Why not print your own "planck" pcb, like the Contra? https://github.com/ai03-2725/Contra

Need some open source ortholinear PCB
ai03's Contra Cartel is open source. https://github.com/ai03-2725/Contra
- Simple open source 40%

[IC] Contra Improved: Contra 40% with USB C Input and RGB Underglow
Hello Everyone, So I've decided to run an IC for Contra 40% board(https://github.com/ai03-2725/Contra). It'll be a modified PCB based on Contra 40 PCB to support USB C and RGB underglow.
- I love my plank 40% Ortho board... But I really want Bluetooth
- 40% cheap ortho pcb

Damnit, I’m about to step in the rabbithole: Making the most minimalistic keyboard myself - a 40% daisy40, bm43 or jj40? Keychron is my gateway drug. Willing to learn soldering.
Check out the Ai03 Contra. It's a 12x4u open-source board. You could try using the NiceNano microcontroller (instead of pro micro) to add wireless functionailty

Fully-wireless setup ready for the office
Yep, 40% ortho. It's actually an open-source board (not created by me), so you can order the pcbs if you're interested in building one yourself. https://github.com/ai03-2725/Contra

Have you had an end game board and then changed?
I think end game is a myth with any hobby. But after owning 20+ different layouts, I wind up using the preonic most often. lily58 is another good all-arounder. I designed this a long time ago, and it's still pretty nice to use. I miss a number row for stuff like gaming, though.
