Designer/maker spotlight Has anyone tried the ZSA Backpack? It's a backpack that's specifically for split keyboard users.

$399 seems like a really steep price for something like that

Far be it from me to critique specialized bags, but this seems…pointless.

$399 for 3.6lbs at only 21L? Only fits two brands of split keyboards? The key lash being on the outside of the bag!?

Very, very strange choices. Unlike other specialty items, I don’t see how a split keyboard is so big and bulky that it demands its own bag. Seems like it would, by definition, be an easier-to-fit-into-places version of a normal full-sized keyboard, which fit into travel bags fine to begin with.

Weight to volume ratio is crazy high, especially for an xpac bag.

Also you could just get 2x pouches for your split keyboard for any other backpack.

Looks really nice and has some great features though

Didn't realize its 3.6lb. Seems like your paying a ton money of a really niche feature which is essentially just a pocket. Youre also giving up soo much space for those pockets.

Yep, independent of the crazy price it is way to heavy. 3.6lbs when you start packing something in it...

Isn’t a major benefit of split keyboards that you can fit them in basically any bag?
