ZSA’s Voyager keyboard and Navigator trackball attachment are a lot of fun, if you’re willing to put in some effort.
Do you love to tinker with your keyboard layout? Do you love trackballs and think that one that attaches magnetically to your keyboard would be the coolest thing ever? Are you willing to completely blow up your setup in pursuit of possibly huge — or possibly marginal — gains in comfort or efficiency? Then I have a keyboard and trackball recommendation for you, with some caveats.
In early September, I started dabbling with ZSA’s Voyager keyboard and new Navigator trackball attachment. The Voyager is a low-profile, wired, split mechanical keyboard with 52 hot-swappable keys in a columnar-staggered layout. When you buy it, you can pick from one of four types of Kailh Choc v1 switches. The one shipped to me has Pro Red linear switches, which feel a little mushy in comparison to the Cherry MX Brown switches I’m used to. The Voyager has RGB lights, too, if you want to add a little color to your days.
Verge Score
Super customizable, with hot-swappable keys and easy to use software
