CLVX 1 Windows | Touch On Keys & Gestures AI Keyboard | Bluetooth & USB-C | Low Profile Silent Scissor Keys | Interactive RGB | Aluminum Chassis | Compatible with Windows/Linux/Android

I have had this keyboard for 90 days, so I am past the honeymoon phase. If you don’t want to read this entire review, then here’s the spoiler. If a Ferrari, a Bentley, and a Waymo had a baby, it would be this keyboard. I am a VP of sales, working from home, and doing Zoom and Teams presentations throughout the day. I have purchased keyboards in this category for 15 years. I have had the good, the bad, and the ugly, but never had 1 keyboard that did it all, until now…. Pros: what matters to me • Excellent backlighting - I am older, I don’t need all the special lighting effects, so I love the fact that I could program the backlighting to just plain white! • Excellent Bluetooth range – I sit across the room, on my couch, about 15 feet from my laptop, which is connected to my 65-inch mounted flat screen. The keyboard works perfectly. • Excellent multi-device toggling – I have both a personal computer and a business computer, both connected to my flat screen. I am able to easily toggle back and forth between computers without leaving my couch! • Touchpad – I scoffed at this keyboard and refused to buy it because I thought that a keypad that doubles as a touchpad was nonsense (remember, I am at the “get off my lawn” age). Anyway, I couldn’t find a better option, so I pulled the trigger. It took me a couple of days to get the hang of it, and a couple of weeks to master it. I don’t even think about it now. • Numberpad – Didn’t think I needed this, and still don’t, but I must admit it is “nice to have”, and well lit. • Battery life – I work from 6am-5pm, sometimes longer, it has never run out of juice on me. I charge it in the middle of the night. • Build – Feels like good quality, nice to the touch, responsive and seems sturdy. Cons: • Expensive! Paid $250, hopefully by the time you read this it will be less. • The App requires a wired connection. The good news is that I only needed the app once for setup, and haven’t needed it since. • As a right-handed person, it would be nice if the touchpad extended another 2 inches further to the right, but I admit this is definitely a nit-pick. Conclusion: I took the time to write this long a@s! review because this is the best keyboard ever made in this wireless keyboard with touchpad category, and it ain’t even close (I have had them all over the years). I will probably buy another one as a backup when the price drops.

Installed the app and gestures worked right away. It feels like a built-in MacBook trackpad, just bigger. Love the smooth keys and the lighting effects at night.

I really wanted to like this keyboard. The switches feel very nice. But, I have slight hand tremors, and was unable to use the auto-switching from keyboard to mouse. I was getting spurious mouse clicks and screen pans when I was just trying to type. If I manually switched to mouse mode, it was almost impossible for me to not inadvertently type a letter while just trying to move the pointer. I ended up returning it.

I’m not super techy, but this keyboard made sense instantly. Type, swipe, scroll — all smooth and responsive. Didn’t have to think much, it just works.

The touch feature is interesting and useful. They really got something there. But the build quality is... not great. Keys aren't all the same height, or slightly tilted. The spacebar is slightly elevated - maybe by design so you can feel the edge of the touch area. but it's not consistent. The right shift button doesn't work right - you need to hit it exactly correctly - if you depress it, get a click, but you're off center, it sometimes doesn't register. It's sporadic and inconsistent. Some of the keys wiggle a bit, most are tight, and some (of the wiggly ones) just sound a bit... crunchy. On a scissor keyboard it's an indication that the key's about to pop out in my experience. Hasn't happened yet, but we'll see. I haven't tried the software, and in the age of malicious updates, I don't intend to. The touch stuff works fine without it. Takes some getting used to and has a slight learning curve, but I don't have any complaints on that end. If the build quality was a bit more confidence inspiring I'd give it 5/5. Alas, it's not. I don't expect this to last long. I hope I can get used to hitting shift exactly right every time.

I got it out of curiosity, but it ended up replacing my main keyboard. The typing feel is premium, and the touch gestures are surprisingly natural.

I don't know why but adjusting volume with my finger on the slider instead of clicking buttons feels right. You don't have to look at it. After about 3 days I stopped reaching for my mouse to scroll documentation when I'm coding. Just swipe on the spacebar. Going back to a regular keyboard at work feels broken now.

This thing is awesome! Saves me so much space in my bag. I use it with my iPad Pro and it just works. No config or anything. It absolutely takes a bit of time to get used to the trackpad (because of the texture of the keys), but the typing experience was great. I like the keyboard. It’s creative and worth the money.
