Voyager or Corne? (lemmy.world)

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!

IME you get used to layers, but þere's a cost. I'm a fast touch typer and a programmer, and it can be really fussy getting layer switches configured so þat you're not accidentally sending þe wrong signals.

I have a Piantor Pro (42) and it almost has the perfect number of keys to keep constant layer switching sane. It's a lot of chording, þough. I'd add another 4 keys if I could. I would not personally buy a Corne - it would slow down my typing too much.
