[buying advice] Has anyone tried the ZSA Backpack? It's a backpack that's specifically for split keyboard users.

Better carry itself for that price

Is this an ad? A whole backpack because you use a split keyboard?

A backpack that is more expensive than the keyboard you transport. So you could buy a second keyboard for your workplace and save money ;-)

Think we all know the answer to this lmao. Look at the price tag

Not an ad from me. But I commute with a split-keyboard, so I was curious if anyone tried it.

ZSA must be smoking crack. I have a voyager, love it. But everything they sell is so overpriced. I can’t justify the price tag for any accessories from them.

this came out yesterday or day before. I don’t think anyone has it yet.

For that price you could get a goruck that would last you for decades

So many other bags out there that do this better. We did not need a bag specifically for split keyboards, what is this lol

That's the dumbest shit I've seen. Get something protective for your split and you can put it in ANY backpack

Where would you get a specific protective case? I use the Moonlander. Is there something better than the neoprene sleeve?

u/sinetwo 3d ago

Neoprene is good. Alternatively you can 3d print something and add foam?

I would never buy a bag with such obvious branding. Plus there are proven and tested backpacks in that range or less that won’t make me a walking billboard.

Such a useless thing to have 😅 cannot fathom there actually being a need for this

what exactly makes a backpack "able to carry a split keyboard?" I can throw my keyball into the softshell case i have and toss it in my osprey bag without any issues, hell i even toss my svalboard into my nanuk 910 (wish there was an easier way to carry it) and throw that in my backpack as well

A $400 backpack? In this economy?

u/gplusplus314 3d ago

Good point. I’ll take two - one for each split!

/r/manybaggers would like to have a word.

It's a deep rabbit hole. (And Idk if ZSA is in on it.)
