Love my new Voyager

I absolutely love my new Voyager. This is my first ZSA board and between the awesome staff, polished configuration of Oryx and the superb build quality of the board, I have zero regrets about my purchase.

I have fallen down the layout configuration spiral changing things to suit my needs and comfort - adding home row mods (which are totally game changing for me) and adjusting timings to deal with roll as well as combinations that make my working life easier, I can report that I feel pretty darn productive.

This board is also my first choc and hot-swap... I bought some Sunsets this morning from lowprokb.ca - I'm excited to see what a lighter switch does for me.

Just excited to share my experience with community.

I love the Oryx configurator, but I do wish there was a way to configure layouts locally, without the web interface.
- Run it locally? It's Foss right?
  
  Oryx is not open source. Their firmware is a fork of QMK modified for Oryx; I don't think it's compatible with the QMK tools.
  As far as I've been able to tell, if ZSA goes out of business and the Oryx configurator goes down, you're forever stuck with whatever configs you've already downloaded - your keyboard becomes, essentially, a dumb keyboard.
Yeah I think the Voyager has really set a great product. I wouldn’t use all the keys 34-36 seems like the sweet spot for me, but the polished buy it and start typing is really great. Happy to hear you are happy, if I had the cash I’d love to try one.
