Essential question: What’s missing from your current text input methods that this does better? Are you having any hand / wrist problems?

I had a very similar problem last year where writing on a regular keyboard or my laptop was giving me pretty bad wrist and shoulder pain. I ended up buying the voyager and it’s fantastic; very satisfied and definitely worth the money imo. The only downside is it may not feel like a “proper” mechanical keyboard, but that’s mostly because I built a Mode Sonnet that felt like butter 🥲 I bet if I took the time to lube the switches it would be a better sound and feel.

TLDR: Wrist pain gone after switching to the Voyager

Do you thing the biggest change for you personally was the split, the tilt, or the low actuation force keys?

I’m spending more time on a keyboard now than ever. Even when I was weigijf more I wasnt touching a keyboard as much as now. Between my day job which is split between writing, prompting LLMs, Slack and email; as well as graphic design software with lots of keyboard shortcuts; in my personal life I’m learning to code, writing blog posts, and writing diatribes on here. 

Mostly I just like to work towards improving things long term. I have a great Mechanical keyboard I’ve used daily for 3 years and I will keep that probably as a backup or to use at my desk at the office. It’s the only one I have, so this isn’t so much a question of over optimizing or constantly upgrading/shopping. 

I’m not even sure I’d buy this without saving up, researching like crazy, and feeling confident in my decision. Started getting curious about split keyboards a few months ago, and I’ve only just found one I’m actually considering—after looking into several—today.
