So I also decided to test out a tented split mechanical keyboard called the ZSA Voyager. I’ve bought from this Taiwanese company before, first the EZ Planck (now out of production), then the Moonlander (returned it after a few weeks, as it did not work well with my hands), and now the Voyager.

So far, I think the strength of this keyboard is the ability to tent it up however you like so that the hand is in a relaxed vertical ‘‘handshake’’. I bought the reddit recommended uGreen magnetic phone holder (it is very sturdy), and am so far enjoying how my thumbs feel when the keyboard is steeply slanted. When the keyboard is completely flat, the thumbs are easily fatigued as they need to stretch out to reach the two thumb clusters and also to hover or rest.

I am very relieved that out of the box, with only adjustments to the thumb keys, I was able to exceed my expected speed and accuracy in no time.

So I think I am committed to this device this time!

Nocturnal switches, here I come!
