Hello all:
I am in need of some advice. I am a consultant for a living and spend my days writing reports. When I am at home, I am using an Advantage 360 Pro which I absolutely love; when I travel to meet with clients though, I use my corporate Mac… which has less than stellar ergonomics.
The 360 is too big and bulky for me to travel with (I know some do), but I use forearm crutches and need to carry everything in a backpack. Weight and overall size are an important consideration.
I was looking at the Glove80, and the Corne-ish Zen but then I saw the new ZSA Voyager…
I also thought about something like a Skeletyl, huge fan of the Dactyls - and the work over at BastardKB; I love minimalist layouts but I also live in Canada; the 360 with exchange and duty when I ordered in on Drop cost me ~$750CDN.
I wish keyboards were more affordable but hey…
Thoughts?
It’s been a minute since I first create this post, but I want to provide an update. I have purchased a ZSA Voyager, and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival.
What finally made me commit was Ben Vallack’s live stream about the Voyager. Thanks Ben!
My first interactions with ZSA staff have been amazing. I found this yesterday on their blog, https://blog.zsa.io/voyager-shifted-layout/ and I think it could really be a game changer for me personally.
I’ll create a new post when it arrives and I’ve had a chance to take it for a drive.
Glove80 will have a case made for it very soon. Might want to take that into account.
The case compared to the Advantage360Where would I get a case for th G80?
At their site once it’s out.
They also have a Discord where they give updates and answer questions.I don’t have a discord. My phone number is “not compatible” of whatever. I’m assuming it’s because my provider virtualizes its numbers, and I don’t think that discord allows virtual numbers. Oh well. I’ll keep checking the site.
Ah that’s unfortunate.
I wish the default wasn’t Discord but it seems like what most do these days.
But I’ve heard they’re also quite responsive over email if you have any questions.I can probably send a request through the supporter’s portal, but I don’t want to bombard them over a case, you know?
There’s a page about it now, and there’s an option to be notified once it’s out
Thank you!! I signed up!
