I like my Voyager so far but since it requires online connectivity to flash the board even though it’s fucking running QMK, I’ll probably make my own based off the Voyager and release it under an AGPL-3.0 and CC-BY-SA license.
The keyboard’s physically nice but their software is fucking ass.
Keymapp is ZSA’s garbage app I was referring to.
It can’t be used to flash boards offline.
If you have a Moonlander or Voyager you can test this by temporarily disabling wifi/ethernet. Keymapp won’t allow you to flash the board which is silly as internet is totally unnecessary for this operation as you already have the layout on your local storage, the app, and the board.
That’s why I see ZSA’s products as proprietary hardware.
For anyone reading my comment please don’t misunderstand. I love my Voyager to bits but at the same time I hate that it’s basically proprietary by default instead of being the ultimate fully open-source split keyboard that it could have been (like Framework’s laptops).
As such I won’t go back to using anyother mechanical/splitortho until I can either build my own using the Voyager as a launching point or someone else makes my dream open source splitortho ahead of me.
I forgot to mention but this is why I won’t buy anything from ZSA anymore nor will mention it to my friends as I also don’t want them to get screwed by this needless blockade.
