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.

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.

The TouchOnKeys feature of this keyboard is a HUGE efficiency improvement to my daily workflow. I love it. However the biggest cons for me are the keys themselves. They could have been made with a small indentation in each key that would aid in feeling the individual keys for us touch typers. It has taken me awhile to get used to the feel, and I'm still not quite there. The second thing is how badly they show finger oils. My guess is the specific plastic or finish of the plastic is necessary to allow the keys to function as a touchpad, but I've used other keyboards with dark keys that didn't show oils this bad. I am cleaning the keys off constantly, which can't be good in the long term. We'll see how they hold up I guess. Maybe they can make some improvements on the key material and typing feel for the small version that is pending. It would also be nice if they could include an integrated number pad in the smaller version that makes use of the 7-8-9, U-I-O, and J-K-L keys, like older laptops used to. As a number pad user, I'm stuck with the long version.

This is seriously the coolest keyboard I have ever used. The touch pad being the keys is by far the leading reason why I go this, and it keeps on being the number one reason why I love this keyboard. It is a great gaming and entertainment device, and I love using it- especially with how easy and fast the sensor is. I don’t understand how this isn’t well known yet- but it will be. There’s nothing else like it on the market. I’m obsessed!

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.

Overall, I like the idea and I think the execution is almost there, but I do have a few grievances. Let me get some of these out of the way first. I think the touchpad area should have a physical outline or border to be able tell where the area ends. I often times would find myself trying to move my cursor outside of the boundary and would have to look down at the keyboard. Another problem I ran into is regarding the initial input response. This can be super problematic when trying to move the mouse cursor over small, incremental, and precise areas like trying to resize a window or a pane. Not really sure how that can be fixed but it can be annoying when trying to move the cursor over small spaces. I also find myself sometimes accidentally moving the mouse cursor when I hover my fingers over the keys to type. This is really moreso from habit, but I'd imagine doing so would common thing for a lot of people who type regularly. I know it seems like I have a lot of bad things to say about this keyboard, but overall I like being able to have this at my desk without needing a mouse AND being able to have touchoad gestures. To me, the gestures was one of my most desired features since I often times switch virtual desktops and using gestures feel much more natural this using a keyboard shortcut. However, I feel as if I'd only recommend this keyboard if you have extra money to spend and you're not already eyeing something like a mechanical keyboard considering how pricey it is. Edit: In the original review, I forgot to mention two nice little features I think someone interested in this might want to know about. This keyboard does have a dedicated key to disable the touchpad while typing so you don't run into the issue mentioned above (I just often times forget to press it). It also has a pair of dedicated left and right mouse buttons if you prefer to use those instead of touch to click on the touchpad. It's probably also worth mentioning that the keyboard worked for me OOTB on Linux without need any other additional software or drivers.
