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.
All of ZSA’s stuff is QMK-compatible. Just load up a QMK config.
That’s great to know, thanks! It’s all a bit past my knowledge event horizon, but with the verbiage on their website it’s hard to tell where they draw the line on closed/open source, and just how much their fork of QMK diverges. Is it 100% feature compatible, or are there ZSA features that can’t be programmed with QMK? Like the glow features - that seems to be pretty common nowadays, but macros? All of the double-tap-hold, multiple function programmability? Are there features that are custom to the fork that are only programmable with Oryx? Their website seems to indicate that there are, and this is how they stay profitable.
I think it’s more likely that their firmware is a closer to subset of QMK, because it’s hard to represent everything you can do in code with a GUI.
Features like macros and double tap and hold were in QMK first.
