That Piantor Pro looks similar to the Corne

It is; the stagger is a more aggressive, especially on the weak side of the hand, and of course it has that additional column, but you can see the inspiration.

A Corne would work for testing switches, for sure. IIRC I could have ordered the Piantor with swappable, but I was seduced - seduced, I say! - by those beautiful Chocs. It's my first non-mass-produced keyboard, and I didn't know any better. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Nothing wrong with chocs, I have a low profile Zinc with choc jades that I swapped the click bar for my usual stronger click bar on and some stiffer springs. They were an absolute nightmare to mod compared to MX switches but worth it.

Old photo of it:

Best of luck with your search for the perfect switch!

Damn, that's so pretty. Beekeeb didn't offer switch lighting on the Piantor, so it's entirely unlit, and that makes me sad.
