The Keyboardio Preonic is a small format grid keyboard that is available for pre-order on the obigatory crowdfunding page (the crowd fund has run its course). The Preonic was originally an OLKB design and is available here with bluetooth, scroll wheel, hot swap switches and four indicator lights in the firm's butterfly trademark.

Keyboardio are best known for their Model 01 or 100 wooden split boards with custom shaped keys. I have no experience with those but own a couple of that firm's Atreus and find them to be well made. The Atreus was another hobbyist design that Keyboardio made available off the peg.

The Preonic is also a gateway to that firm's Kaleidoscope firmware and its associated Chrysalis graphical web based configurator. I think this compares favourably to QMK and ergonomic keyboard reviewer Xah Lee has said "the keyboardio firmware, and features, is the best of all possible out there."
