I am looking to buy my first split keyboard. My first option was the zsa voyager and I was going to buy it until I stumbled on the whole world of split keyboards and now I can’t make up my mind. I have no experience in soldering or anything and I would prefer to get it fully assembled but if it’s way cheaper to get a kit I guess I can learn but I’m scared to mess it up. I’ll be ordering it to France so I’m looking to get the keyboard with shipping and taxes and duties for a maximum budget of 300-350€. There are so many options and websites and I don’t know which one to go for and which will be worth it. I know the quality of the voyager is the best but I’m okay with not having the greatest quality if it’s a good keyboard. Let me know if you have any advice for me since I really need the help and hoping to order the keyboard soon.
Keebart is located in Germany with free shipping on most keyboards. I’ve been very happy with my Sofle v2 and after sale support from him. He uses USB-C for the right-left connection rather than TRRS, which I find to be nice.
The Sofle was an easy intro to split ergo boards. I had a Keychron Q11 and switched to this, which has a number row and 5 thumb keys.
The case is 3D printed, so not ZSA quality, but I have no complaints. He does offer aluminium cases though if you want to spend more.
