I'm thrilled to be reviewing the Voyager from ZSA. A fascinating and undeniably brilliant keyboard. In this beginner-friendly video I will share everything you need to know about switching to a custom keyboard as well as a detailed review of the Voyager itself. The video is packed full of tips on layouts, ergonomics and other hacks and ways I have set up my keyboard too. I hope you enjoy the longer form video on this one!

No money changed hands and I was under no obligation to give a positive review. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- White Label CMS Platform for Web Design Agencies (my day job!): SetSeed: https://www.setseed.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended products: (Affiliate links help support me at no extra cost to you) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tripod clamps: Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/46Ac5SG Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3M22c7R 🛠 Knipex Cobra XS: Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3DT51nh Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3s9LzjG ⛺️ Buy a Bell Tent from Boutique Camping here: https://boutiquecamping.com/BENVALLACK -------------------------- 🎬 My YouTube camera gear (2024 Edition): -------------------------- Using these links to buy items helps support this channel at no cost to you! 📷 Sony ZV-E1: Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/48JtLM3 Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3TomaOt 📸 Lenses: Sigma 16-28mm f2.8 Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/49DzG6A Amazon US: https://amzn.to/49WLMaz Sony 28-60 f4-5.6 Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3IrSxW0 Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3P821cS 🎤 Mic: Rode Wireless GO II Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3P7W3Zs Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3TpYI36 Rode VideoMic GO II Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/437ATjX Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3wIcQMu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents: 0:00 Intro 0:35 Why custom keyboards? 0:53 Staggered keyboards suck 2:03 The vibrant custom keyboard community 2:36 QWERTY also sucks 3:47 Custom keyboard switches 4:28 Columnar and ortholinear 5:08 Layers 5:46 Customisation without software 7:30 Why I decided to try the Voyager 8:52 Commercial keyboards and small layouts 9:44 Using home row mods 10:11 Is 52 keys the goldilocks keyboard size? 11:27 Portability and magnetic tripod mounts 13:28 Thumb keys 15:45 Pinkie column offset 17:23 Hot swappable key switches 19:37 Delightful keycaps 22:58 RGB backlighting 24:05 Oryx online configurator 25:31 Why not wireless? 27:18 Who is the Voyager for?
