ZSA Voyager

Very lightweight and very easy to configure

I spent quite a bit of time with the ZSA Voyager, a split ergonomic keyboard that became one of my daily drivers in my rotation. The keyboard really stood out with its attention to detail - from the innovative design choices to the thoughtful inclusion of extra switches and keycaps in the package.

What really impressed me was the incredible configuration software that made customization a breeze through their web interface at layout.new. The keyboard features choc switches with a low profile, and the design includes some smart ergonomic choices like symmetric halves and well-positioned thumb keys.

The build quality was excellent, with nice touches like grooves for easy switch removal and included tenting options with strong magnets. The keyboard came with a carrying case, making it quite portable, and the community around it has created various 3D-printable accessories for further customization.

Pros

  • Excellent configuration software with extensive customization options
  • High build quality with thoughtful design details
  • Lightweight and portable with included carrying case
  • Strong community support with DIY modifications

Cons

  • Limited switch variety due to choc switch format

  • Tenting without palmrest isn't for everyone
