Bought a new keyboard for home as I plan to use my beloved Moonlander at work instead. Went for a QMK Keychron keyboard which is lovely in itself, but trying things out I am now holding a completely new appreciation for ZSA’s firmware configurator, which is what I use to configure the Moonlander. It is MILES ahead of the QMK/VIA configurator. I had no idea.

I thought the ZSA configurator, being based on QMK, would be similar to what I could expect for any QMK keyboard. I was wrong.

It is like comparing the latest set of flight controls with a bicycle.

Bist du eigentlich immer noch mit deiner ZSA Moonlander Tastatur zufrieden, @martin_ueding?

Ich hadere noch wegen des Preises, zumal man sie in Deutschland schlecht vorab mal unverbindlich testen kann Vor allem den Komfort der Handgelenkauflagen kann man anhand von Fotos echt schwer beurteilen.

I was trying to setup a build environment for my #ZSA Voyager so that I could enable features like Achordion to make the home row mods work better.

I got everything setup now and want to get started adding the features only to read in the newest newsletter from ZSA that they added Chordal Hold their version of #QMK which achieves the same result.

I will keep my setup in case something else tickles my fancy but for the moment the need seems to be gone.

A few weeks ago I set aside my #ZSA #Voyager and considered switching back to Apple keyboards full time.

The reason: I want to use home row mods on my Voyager. But I couldn’t teach my fingers to stop rolling from, say, S to T. With home row mods, with S doubling as Alt, that often resulted in † (Alt-T) instead of st.

But now ZSA has added Chordal Hold to their keyboard configurator. https://blog.zsa.io/chordal-hold/

This fixes the one annoying problem I've had with my otherwise lovely #ZSAVoyager.

I’m falling down the #splitkeyboard rabbit hole - and wondering how far I go for my first one?

The #zsa #moonlander or the #glove80?

Or do I go all out and build a kit? (Probs not, as I’m not practical )

For context, I’ve had back problems for years and RSI is really starting to kick in - even with an active gym routine - still struggle when typing all day.

I recently bought a #ZSA #voyager #MechKeyboard with Choc Pro Red switches. See the link below for a brief review of those switches, plus some further tweaks I made to my #Graphite #altkeyboardlayout for gaming.

Love my #Voyager from #ZSA. Now waiting for switches to arrive. Ordered Ambient Twilight so I'm really curious how much of a difference I'm going to see. Switches which came with the #voyager are a bit "stiff" for my fingers. I had Khail MX Brown ones in my old #ErgodoxEZ and those felt like a tank. Let's hope that tarrifs and all that mess which is now in the world won't block my delivery from Canada to US.

Ok so maybe this isn't the most sensible place to combine the #zsa #voyager with magnetic mounts and 2 Frogpods, but it is a place

Anyone got the #ZSA #Moonlander platform?

It's not a looker, but it's really sturdy and easy to adjust.

However, for a neutral, relaxed angle in my arms, I need to move the desk down so far that the desktop touches my legs; couldn't sit there on a normal chair anymore.

I don't recall having unusually long upper arms like an ape, so how do y'all manage?

#Voyager just arrived ! I think I know now what I'm going to be doing this weekend :-). Thank you #ZSA !

#ZSA and their #Voyager is on #Fedex truck. Attempt for delivery was made and I wasn't home. Damn, I saw the truck on the main road getting to our place and I was out only for 15 mins. #LuckInMyLife

Woop woop, did an interview with #ZSA after falling in love with my #Voyager #keyboard

Go check it out!

Can't wait for my order to change the status :-) #zsa #zsaVoyager

my #ZSA order just arrived! it is not yet another keyboard though, but a set of their really cool ZSA Cards!

like all things ZSA does, they're thoughtful and inspiring.

#PROMPT YOURSELF

> This is similar to how you would use Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s brilliant Oblique Strategies, a powerful set of cards that has been helping creative professionals since 1975. The prompts are different, but the concept and method are similar.

see? delightful! <3

I was listening to the podcast where Erez talked about how #zsa started and about the future of the company. He also mentioned that there are some changes going to be coming to #zsaVoyager. Has those changes been announced yet ? Where can I see what was changed ? I'm about to submit an order for #zsaVoyager and don't want to miss something important.
