ZSA Voyager vs Glove80 vs Go60 - RSI & Forearm Pain

Hi Everyone,

I have been debating which of these three keyboards to get and would love some help. I have severe RSI in my wrists and thumbs and even worse radial forearm tendonitis and tennis elbow along with tears in both shoulders. It is the forearm pain that is my biggest problem.

Currently I have been using the Microsoft Sculpt and Logitech K860. The K860 switches are just too hard for me to press for long periods of time but the wrist rest is great. The Sculpt has lighter switches but I really need a keyboard that is completely split.

All three of the keyboards (Voyager, Glove80 and Go60) have the option of light switches (30g or 35g). The Glove80 is the biggest risk of the three for me as I have never used a keyboard with keywells before and as my hands are quite large (20cm long) I am worried that I would have to use a claw grip on this keyboard. But then again maybe it is a good option, I don't know.

Tenting is also something I need and all three keyboards have. Voyager needs to be 3D printed I believe for tenting and wrist rest options but it is there. I don't like the look of the wooden wrist rest on the Go60 and not sure if I like the look of the Glove80 wrist rest either. Voyager software seems easier to use and easier to swap out switches if need be.

The Voyager has the option of a refund within 30 days (just need to pay for return shipping). The other two don't and being in New Zealand it may be harder to sell these second hand.

Would love some feedback from people who have used these keyboards and who may have similar issues to myself, and which keyboard gave the most relief to your symptoms.

I am unable to use a trackball which rules out other options. This keyboard will be used for both office work and light gaming. I use a Logitech Lift vertical mouse as well which helps me. Previously I used the Evoluent vertical mouse and MX Vertical but the click force was too high on those, so I switched to the Logi Lift.

Thank you, and I really appreciate your help. I am only able to afford one of these keyboards so I need to get this right on the first try if possible.

Should I buy Baldurs Gate 3

Hi everyone, I know there are numerous posts on this already but I am really torn about whether to buy it and would love some advice.

I love games with great stories (longer the better) amazing characters, choices that matter and detailed worlds which is what this game has from what I can tell.

I haven't been a fan of turn based combat in the past, in fact I have purposefully avoided them. However, I recently tried Expedition 33 and have grown to appreciate the combat more (I am aware that BG3 combat is much more in depth) but it still doesn't draw me in completely. The rolling of the dice part is the aspect I probably am most worried about.

I am also not a fan of top down view games but I have heard there is a mod which makes this game like a typical third person view and wasd movement instead of point and click?

Recently I have developed RSI in my wrists so moving away from fast action combat is probably a good thing and is why I am finally considering this game after hearing good things about it. It is also 25% off right now on Steam.

Some examples of games I enjoyed are KCD2, Witcher 3 (those two are my favourite games I have ever played) RDR2, God of War, The Last of Us. I have to admit that fantasy is not usually my thing and I do prefer more grounded realistic games, however I still enjoyed Witcher 3 and GOW immensely.

Thank you for your help.
