The Piantor Keyboard is a beginner-friendly, easy-to-solder, 42-key or 36-key, diodeless, low profile aggressive column staggered, hotswappable and non-hotswappable, programmable ergonomic mechanical split keyboard powered by Raspberry Pi Pico or other compatible RP2040 boards. It is based on the Cantor Keyboard. (by beekeeb)

Corne, but with a wider thumb cluster and stronger column stagger?
There are a few things that are close: * The Cantor/Piantor: more aggressive stagger and slightly changed thumb cluster. * The Swept Corne: essentially a big sweep. * The Hillside 46/48: This comes in many forms which are very similar to what you are looking for. Essentially an extra aggressive stagger (and perhaps splayed) Corne with a bigger thumb cluster.

Minimal layouts (34/36 keys) : do you keep the same rows for the pinkie ?
I've been looking at the https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor

a second half stops working
I have a piantor (https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor 2x rpi pico WeAct, halves connected by a TTRS cable, vial firmware for WeAct) keyboard built by myself (I soldered somethink like 10 years ago so I'm not an expert). It worked great but now the right half started to stop working. It happens after some idle time and happened once during usage. Diode is on on the broken half even when it does not work.

DIY Carrying Case for my Piantor
A fork of the Cantor which uses a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller (or other RP2040-compatible microcontroller). See its GitHub page.

Please share your Piantor keyboard keymap files.
Couldn't find anywhere to download keymap files for Piantor keyboard, and don't have enough determination to start from scratch designing myself. Could you please share some of your creations? Thanks. My Piantor is a RPI0 variant, if that matters.

Built a Piantor and am quite happy with the result! What do recommend next after learning better colemak typing :-) ?
No it is the default case, see beekeep GitHub https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor/tree/main/case

Piantor and Leeloo
Ah yeah sorry, the piantor is not wireless (i removed the trrs cable to get them closer together). I traded off the convenience of wireless for an easier unpacking job (no need to make sure everything is charged, flip the on/off switches etc.) Not sure if someone has tried making a wireless variant. The repo is https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor

Please help me choose
Sounds like you want a KLOR 😊
- Got my first split kb a while ago, Lily58. Is it just me or are these last 2 thumb keys annoying to reach?

Unpopular opinion?
I made a keyboard myself which has such a "thumb key" (KLOR) and at least for me it's still pretty comfortable to use, by tucking the thumb in a bit. The alternative would be to remove it, but I don't see why?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing piantor and KLOR you can also consider the following projects:
cantor - Cantor keyboard, a 42 key diodeless split keyboard.
qmk-config-totem - QMK config for TOTEM split keyboard
crkbd - Corne keyboard, a split keyboard with 3x6 column staggered keys and 3 thumb keys.
KBIC65 - 65% keyboard PCB with ProMicro footprint. Through-hole kit design with focus on wireless.
jorne - Jorne is an extended Corne keyboard with extra keys for brackets and international layouts
2BKeyboard - 44-Key Split keyboard with stagger and splay(can also be used with one hand)
TOTEM - TOTEM is a 38 keys column-staggered split keyboard. It meant to be used with a SEEED XIAO BLE or RP2040
