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!
You could go for a Sofle, that’s very Corne-like (V1 is a direct superset) but has a number row, a few more lower row keys (good for dedicated Alt/Gui/Menu keys!), and rotary encoders. Plenty vendors make these.
More generally though, there are many keyboards! If you were to set requirements as “pre-built, low-profile, number row, at least 3 thumb keys”, that’s 10-something keyboards as per a list I maintain, and probably a few more if you count the stuff in Unsorted keyboards and/or mystery keyboards from Aliexpress.
