I absolutely love my new Voyager. This is my first ZSA board and between the awesome staff, polished configuration of Oryx and the superb build quality of the board, I have zero regrets about my purchase.

I have fallen down the layout configuration spiral changing things to suit my needs and comfort - adding home row mods (which are totally game changing for me) and adjusting timings to deal with roll as well as combinations that make my working life easier, I can report that I feel pretty darn productive.

This board is also my first choc and hot-swap… I bought some Sunsets this morning from lowprokb.ca - I’m excited to see what a lighter switch does for me.

Just excited to share my experience with community.

    That’s not an issue, I think; I’m just not certain how much their forked QMK diverges from the base, and if they’ve added features that are only programmable with Oryx or Keymapp (also closed-source). The fact that the flashing tool, wally, is open-source, but everything else is closed, makes me think there are some proprietary changes in their fork that can’t be configured with the QMK tools. But I don’t know.

    I bought the Ergodox because I’m neither knowledgeable nor interested in getting into the firmware and custom soldering level of mechanical keyboards. So I’m making a lot of educated guesses which could be totally off. ¯\(ツ)/¯
