Travel Ergo Advice - eviltoast

Hello all:

I am in need of some advice. I am a consultant for a living and spend my days writing reports. When I am at home, I am using an Advantage 360 Pro which I absolutely love; when I travel to meet with clients though, I use my corporate Mac… which has less than stellar ergonomics.

The 360 is too big and bulky for me to travel with (I know some do), but I use forearm crutches and need to carry everything in a backpack. Weight and overall size are an important consideration.

I was looking at the Glove80, and the Corne-ish Zen but then I saw the new ZSA Voyager…

I also thought about something like a Skeletyl, huge fan of the Dactyls - and the work over at BastardKB; I love minimalist layouts but I also live in Canada; the 360 with exchange and duty when I ordered in on Drop cost me ~$750CDN.

I wish keyboards were more affordable but hey…

Thoughts?

    It’s been a minute since I first create this post, but I want to provide an update. I have purchased a ZSA Voyager, and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival.

    What finally made me commit was Ben Vallack’s live stream about the Voyager. Thanks Ben!

    My first interactions with ZSA staff have been amazing. I found this yesterday on their blog, https://blog.zsa.io/voyager-shifted-layout/ and I think it could really be a game changer for me personally.

    I’ll create a new post when it arrives and I’ve had a chance to take it for a drive.
