Hello all:
I am in need of some advice. I am a consultant for a living and spend my days writing reports. When I am at home, I am using an Advantage 360 Pro which I absolutely love; when I travel to meet with clients though, I use my corporate Mac… which has less than stellar ergonomics.
The 360 is too big and bulky for me to travel with (I know some do), but I use forearm crutches and need to carry everything in a backpack. Weight and overall size are an important consideration.
I was looking at the Glove80, and the Corne-ish Zen but then I saw the new ZSA Voyager…
I also thought about something like a Skeletyl, huge fan of the Dactyls - and the work over at BastardKB; I love minimalist layouts but I also live in Canada; the 360 with exchange and duty when I ordered in on Drop cost me ~$750CDN.
I wish keyboards were more affordable but hey…
Thoughts?
if you can stomach the low key count I’d highly recommend something like the Sweep. if built wireless it becomes an even better travel board IMO but it’s not a necessity. Also sometimes uni-bodies can make good travel boards as they work pretty nicely on your lap or other awkward situations a little better than a split. Personally I have an Osprette which I love.
The others you’ve listed are all good options too. Good luck.
