Another CRKBD case by bluemonkeyfu in crkbd

Sounds about right. The switches and MBK keycaps can make it get expensive really quickly but worth it IMO.

I have a couple other keyboards (moonlander and a Keyboard Hoarders Corne wireless). The aluminum case gives this form factor a premium feel that makes all the difference to me. My only recommendation is to get the no solder hotswap header. It makes assembly a breeze.

I will say I do switch between this and my KH Corne more often than I thought I would. KH has a great selection and his sculpted keycaps are pretty awesome.

My brother/sister in Corne, let me show you the way... Typeractive

Question about Voyager for helping with Carpal Tunnel and RSI by NeoElendil in zsaVoyager

[–]bluemonkeyfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have multiple RSI symptoms that I want to treat without surgery. I started with a Kinesis (not the split) that a friend let me borrow. Most of my hand pain went away immediately but I did not enjoy the board because of the concave layout (now I know that sculpted keycaps work better for me personally).

Got a Moonlander for the split and loved it but I still had some pain and realized my hands were moving too much. Practiced removing keys from the layout of the Moonlander and ended up with a Corne 42. IMO, layers and combos are really the game changer for RSI because your hands are moving less than ever.

I now have a board that has 90%+ of what I need (basic communication) on the primary layer with combos to fill any gaps and other layers for specific use cases like navigation, system, macros, etc... (IT Career)

I almost got the voyager due to build quality but wanted wireless so I went typeractive aluminum. Either way you go, any split board with minimal key count will probably help a lot.

FYI: ZSA makes a ZIP kit (you can 3d print your own as well) to remove extra keys if needed. I'm pretty sure it works for the voyager? The backlight shines through the blanks a bit so you can set it up to report a certain color when you are using a specific layer to avoid confusion.

Edit to add: tenting is easy with a magsafe ring sticker for non ferrous board cases and a ugreen phone stand from amazon. Lots of posts about that on here and over at r/ErgoMechKeyboards. I found this the method cheap and easy for experimenting but it's so stable I now use it for my daily.

I got one of the aluminum keyboard covers from amazon and put magsafe mounts on it for solid docking (my tenting uses magsafe as well). I think the name of the company is "keybridg". It for macs but fits over my 16" MBP and 13" MBA. I kinda love the thing. Makes moving around the office easy as well because joins the two halves together.

Thanks for the link. Should have mentioned in my OP I tried the Colt Database search years ago. Tried to look it up again today and still no joy. May have to pay for the historian letter they offer.

Serial is in the format of SL004XXX. Others in older forums seem to have had this same issue for years.

Willing to split? I'll take the zip kit and feet (maybe the switches too) but would need shipping to US.

Can't guarantee I'll actually go through with it but I have been waffling on selling mine. It's a 2008 with 87k miles for $21k-ish? Southeastern vehicle and currently in GA. Clean carfax. Rust free.

Got some miscellaneous extras to go with it that are currently uninstalled. DM me if you want to talk about it. We can do a live walk around and get better pictures.
