piantor
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.

Particularly does the Piantor keyboard https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor supports NKRO ?

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

Cheapest way to try Miryoku style layout
Depending on how comfortable you are ordering PCBs yourself, the Cantor (https://github.com/diepala/cantor ) or the Cheapino (https://github.com/tompi/cheapino ) might be a good starting point for getting into split keyboards, both are diodeless, so you only need to solder the switches and use relatively cheap microcontrollers

My corne swept with handmade oak case
The Corne caught my eye first, but I ended up starting with a Cantor, which has more stagger, like OP's keyboard. It didn't work for me. The Corne works better for me.

What are the best designs to cheap out? E.g. Reviung34 only needs 1 controller.
Cantor by DiePala, Choc, diodeless, cheap “Black pill” mcu, requires two. Caseless/plateless. Pcb is reversible, but you’ll need trrs cable and Jack.

Adding millmax to non-swappable PCB
I have 2 hand-wired keyboards with cherry style switches, and I decided to build a Cantor (diodeless, Corne-like with more pinky stagger) to try a PCB build and the Kailh choc v1 switches for a first time.

Does the Lily58 have the same floating PCB problem of the Sofle?
several of the low-profile / Choc boards (ex. Cantor) go the plateless and caseless route with nothing more than rubber bumpers on the bottom of the PCB
