Clevetura Reviews 

Really innovative tech that goes great with the kind of stuff I work with - DAW, NLE, IDE*, that is, music, video and code. Being a heavy keyboard user I've long preferred having a Macbook with touch right in front of the keyboard rather than to the side, for when I actually do need to use the pointer, and this is the closest I've gotten to that in a desktop form factor.

And with Karabiner and Hammerspoon you get basically all the hackability of a mechanical right in software. There is a hiccup here currently, Fn as Hyper isn't yet possible as nothing is posted on key down, but they've told me they're working on it. Everything else - caps as ctrl/esc etc - is working 100%!

Touch is not quite as smooth as the built in trackpad, but not bad at all, and I'm coming to dig it more and more after a bit of learning curve.

Software is decent - bundle size is insane though - and the team seems responsive enough and eager to keep developing the product. Hoping for a basic API then sky's the limit!
I have great hopes that I'll have to revise this review to 5/5 soon enough.

*Well, Neovim.

I've had both versions of their most recent keyboards (CLVX-1 and CLVX-S) for a little over a year now, and my only complaint is that I'm too addicted to quit.

Often times at work I slide my fingers over my keys on my regular keyboard out of habit. Being mouseless at home just feels magical in a way no piece of tech has felt in many years.

Clicking with my thumbs also became very convenient, and neither dragging nor highlighting felt unnatural after a couple of hours with them. I've even edited movies and 3-d prints quite easily. I don't type very fast (around 72 WPM average on monkeytype), but I've had no issues with the flat keys too.

A plus is that I had to import both all the way to Brazil, which can be cumbersome, but I've had no issues whatsoever in both instances.

The device does not stay connected to my FireStick.
The keyboard does not respond to right side clicks.

I use this keyboard on my iPad Air M4 and touch gestures often misfire, possibly due to an inaccurate sensor. The touch feel is also uncomfortable, mainly because of the bumps on the keys. It’s particularly annoying when it recognises finger movement as a touch input while I’m searching for the F and J keys without looking at the keyboard. While I appreciate the fancy design and feel good about owning it, it’s not as productive or comfortable as I had hoped.

I'm torn. I have the CLVX S. The built quality is exceptional and the typing experience is out of this world. There's no way that I will go back to another external keyboard. Only the professional Lenovo laptop keyboard are a tad better.
I was not so keen on the light effects but they are cute.
The main reason I bought it was the touchpad features and yeah they work but I'm still struggling with them especially double tap, right tap etc
Too easy to touch a key
Is it worth the price? Not sure.
Would I have bought it when I had the experience before? Not sure.
Do I regret the purchase? No

The keyboard could do with the ability to reduce the sensitivity of the mouse feature. I'm struggling to use the keyboard for fast and heavy use... 😩

I have forgotten how to use a mouse. It sits on my desk collecting dust.

That is how good this CLVX S is.

There is a bit of muscle memory training on my end to familarize with the key locations on the keyboard but once I had it down, my workflow efficiency has greatly increased.

I travel a lot for work and often work at coffee shops. So this keyboard + trackpad combo has provided me the portability and convenience that a workhorse nomad demands.

My only issue is battery life and its something Clevetura has shared before I purchased. The battery life is short if you have the backlight LEDs on during use.

Otherwise, I HIGHLY recommend this product.

The demo showed instant changing from trackpad to typing. in reality it takes 3-5 seconds to change modes. this takes time to get use to and it is much faster to use an external mouse

A wonderful keyboard no doubt. Only with minor drawbacks like while using as touch pad the fingers gets stuck as the keys gets slightly pressed. And as suggestion for future build may be add a option where keyboard can be turned on without turning on the battery while using with cable.

Happy to try Clevetura and so far very happy with the keyboard.

My use case for CLVX S is primary a "living-room" style keyboard. Believe it or not, but at the time of writing it was the only wireless keyboard/touchpad combo with both backlight (and RGB at that!) as well as Windows Precision drivers support. The latter mattered most to me. The TouchOnKeys idea is a great one - package is very compact, yet the touchpad area is huge!
The only caveat I have with it (therefore 4*) is that the standby battery life is pretty poor. What I mean is that leaving the keyboard on, results in the battery draining in a matter of a day. What I believe are the reasons, are:
1) The TouchOnKeys LED is always on (the backlight as a whole turns off after a while, aside from this one).
2) The keyboard never disconnects from Bluetooth. Coming from K830, it did in fact disconnect after an hour or so, and would reconnect after clicking any key - and it would last weeks on standby.
The above experience was on firmware 6.2.2. I hope it gets improved in future updates. Nevertheless, it's still by far the best such product I had the pleasure using.

EDIT: Can confirm the issues have been addressed in 6.3.0 firmware update. Also, the bluetooth connects much quicker now too. Nice!

i have to say this is not a gimmik. it works fine. but is it good? not enough. battery is weak. lighting quality is weak. keycaps are stainy. if it was chraper i could have rated this 4. but due to the rpice this is max a 3/5

Clevetura CLVX1 is a wonderful keyboard with an innovative touchpad over the center keys. I use it exclusively to operate my home theater PC, and it replaced my decade-old Logitech K830. My seating position is located 20 feet away from HTPC and I connected the Clevetura keyboard's USB-C cable to a 24 foot USB-3 extension cable from my PC. It is always plugged in and I never tried the Bluetooth function. It is a bit smaller compared to the K830 with a much higher quality build and the keys are beautifully backlit with adjustable colors. I only wish the backspace button was larger, but it's easy to get used to after a while.

The one touch keys technology is absolutely game changing. No more bringing a mouse and keyboard. Best of both worlds. The most compact setup possible. The future is bright, with wearable displays and mini computers. I think how we use a computer is about to change.
That said, I am a software engineer and I would like a version of this keyboard that is split and optimized for programming and RSI. I've been using the cvlx s for an extended time for embedded software development and my rsi is coming back...

The customer service was amazing - I had a last minute address change and they handled it unbelievably smoothly… I bought a CLVX S, and oh my god I am addicted to it - it’s made working so much more fun… yes it’s ergonomically efficient but the enjoyment of it also make my productivity skyrocket a whole bunch!

I was looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse that could used across multiple devices to reduce desk clutter and cables. I am thoroughly impressed.

Build quality is very good, the technology is really well thought out. The setup on two Windows machines and an Android tablet was almost instantaneous and I found switching between devices to be very quick and super easy.

I have learned now to use the type button to jump back and forth between typing and touchpad use, I make fewer mistakes that way. About the only thing that I use a mouse for now is AutoCAD, I don't find the touchpad as efficient for drawing.

My only negative was the price, it feels like a lot of money for a keyboard. But when you get it in your hands you feel like you got something for your money, it is not a cheap piece of plastic.

First off, I would like to say this thing is amazing, well done!!!!! 🤩

Design:
Excellent/Apple Quality build, keys are just big enough to eliminate mistypes and well spaced, soft key press, and decent battery.

Pros:

Apple Build quality

Great Key feel/feedback/size

RGB lighting customization

Cons: The battery life could improve.

Software:
LOVE THE LIGHT SHOW WHEN FIRST OPENING THE PACKAGE!!!! Has everything you need to fully customize to your liking. You have the abilities to adjust the color of the keys and the features of each one. Also you can modify the gestures for each OS and set profiles for them as well. Switching between devices is a little slow to connect but not to bad, Track pad work as attended, but not perfect all the time with the gestures and movement, sometimes it won’t read the gesture on the first try or when moving the mouse, but I’m sure it will improve over time. The physical mouse buttons at the bottom is okay, and nice I guess to have when touch doesn’t want to read, but wish they weren’t there and the keyboard was evenly proportion at the top and bottom, also making the keyboard a little smaller. Bluetooth support for TouchApp was my only issues, which was addressed in the last update and added. Only thing I can think of that would be nice to have is an iOS/Android TouchApp support.

Pros:
Supports all OS/ TouchApp support for customization and future support/feature updates.

AI Support for improve typing/use

Supports 3 Bluetooths and one Wired

Nice customization options and features.

Software is well designed and easy to use
Future updates/support

Cons:

Not a fan of the physical mouse buttons at the bottom.

Gestures not supported on wired connection on iOS.

Mouse/Track pad doesn’t always read gestures or mouse movement.

Switching between devices is a little slow.

Overall: 8/10

There’s rooms for improvements, as there is in all products. For a first Gen product, this is pretty dare close to perfect for most user. Build quality is excellent and the software is on

The keyboard is easy to bend, aluminum is too soft, everything else is bad. The bottom row of keys fell out after 24 hours of use, it's junk, don't buy it.

Out of the box, the keyboard highlights it is incredibly well designed and the utilization is very creative. I encountered a minor issue at first which was my doing. However, this underscored the laser-like focus and responsiveness of this incredible team behind the product. I could not be more impressed with my interface.

Finally I don't need to move my hands around. I was hating move my hand back and forth to reach the mouse.
However, it is still a touchpad, so in my opinion it will never substitute 100% a mouse. If you do a lot of point and click, you will stay with the mouse.
I am a developer, I code, I browse, I read emails and so far (2 weeks) I just used the CLVX1. Sometimes I was tempted to use the mouse to be faster and indeed it is still there in case I need it.

I found a few flaws:
- your hand can be tired to hover the keyboard instead of resting somewhere;
- when I do a search (CTRL+F) and I write immediately a word, I found myself clicking somewhere after the first digit, I don't know why, maybe I'm writing too fast and it gets a click instead of a type
? I had just to be a bit more conscious when I do that.
