I’ve been looking at the voyager for close to a year now and I chose to order it. But now that I’m about to order it, I’m considering maybe getting a corne keyboard instead. This will be my first ever split keyboard and I’m very excited to get it and start the journey and I know a Corne has less keys which will make the switch even harder but I’m up for it. Now I just want some advice if anyone has tried both and can help me make the decision easier. I just found that having 3 thumb keys on the corne instead of 2 on the voyager would make things easier to navigate but feel free to correct me if that’s not the case. Any information can help!
I started with an Ergodox, more like the Voyager and later moved to a Corne.
You can try a Corne-like layout on the Voyager by using one bottom row key as a thumb key and ignoring the rest of the bottom row. All the other finger keys are shifted up one row.
If you like the Corne layout, sell the Voyager. I expect they have good resell value.
