Navigator Trackpad expands ZSA Technology Labs’ modular ecosystem, adding laptop‑style cursor control to its Voyager split ergonomic keyboard lineup. The device, released after the earlier Trackball variant, offers a glass‑like surface with native Precision touch and supports multitouch gestures across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The module uses a custom multitouch sensor developed with Cirque and plugs into existing 3D‑printable Navigator shells. It attaches magnetically to Voyager, Moonlander, or any QMK‑powered keyboard, and can be customized via ZSA’s Oryx configurator for left‑handed layouts and gesture tweaks.

Erez Zukerman, CEO of ZSA, stressed that the team built the touchpad from scratch rather than repurposing an off‑the‑shelf design, aiming for tighter integration. The standalone unit sells for $99, while the Navigator Core bundle starts at $169 and includes a magnetic shell, carrying case, and braided cables.

Retailers position the accessory as an affordable upgrade for mechanical‑keyboard enthusiasts, delivering precise control and seamless compatibility across platforms.
