The 34-key Forager, designed by carrefinho, is a low-profile wireless split keyboard inspired by ZSA's Voyager. Its layout is a condensed Voyager one, without the outer pinkie column and number row.
Why does the larger Voyager not simply eat the small Forager? – carrefinho.
The Forager comes with a sleek 3D-printed case, cool tenting legs, and cleverly utilizes the XIAO controller's onboard RGB LED and reset button.
