Reviews

The Clevy Keyboard makes everything clearer and visually simpler

The small letters are especially helpful. The color-coding also helps them quickly identify patterns. It makes typing more manageable for children who would otherwise struggle. […] For students with motor issues, the LED feedback for keypresses is also very helpful. And I didn’t know about the switch on the back that turns off key repeat and turns on function key access.

The feature to prevent keystroke repeats is fantastic

My student, who is just learning to type, loves the Clevy Keyboard! The larger size and color-coding support her to build familiarity with the keyboard and ease frustration as she’s learning. Of the color-coding patterns I have seen in the past on other keyboards, this design makes good sense to us both and draws appropriate attention to letters versus numbers and highlights the vowels. The feature to prevent keystroke repeats is also fantastic.

I can do my schoolwork, follow lessons, and take tests – all without getting frustrated

When I was 8, my parents gave me a Clevy Keyboard with large, colorful keys. That changed a lot for me. Thanks to that keyboard, I learned how to type. My physical therapist helped me a lot with this. At first, it was slow, with small steps, but now I can type easily on a regular laptop, which I use every day at home and in the classroom. I can do my schoolwork, follow lessons, and take tests – all without getting frustrated or using up all my energy on writing. The Clevy keyboard gave me a fair chance to show what I’m really capable of.

The size of the keys offers a big advantage in reducing typing errors

Typing is much better with the Clevy Keyboard. The size of the keys offers a big advantage in reducing typing errors. Also, the color layout, which allows vowels and consonants to be found quickly and clearly, makes typing with the Clevy Keyboard more pleasant with fewer typos.

Every key is larger than on conventional keyboards, but the keyboard itself isn’t

Luckily, I found the Clevy Keyboard on internet and was immediately impressed. It was exactly what I had tried to make myself. Only even better! Every key is larger than on conventional keyboards, but the keyboard itself isn’t. Because rarely used keys were simply left out. The keys are color‑coded according to function, and even the vowels (or syllables kings, as they’re called at school) are highlighted, which my son particularly liked! And the frame is white, which looks much friendlier than the usual black.

Nice but not the Bluetooth one
I really like how big this keyboard is. I have a son with autism so this big letters really help. It doesn’t work with certain typing games you can download on App Store but it’s super cute and great. I thought it was the Bluetooth version but sadly I got the wired one so there’s a bunch of wires to connect it to and from my son’s iPad. It is easy to use as well so if you’re looking for a good keyboard for your kiddo this is the one.

I like that it is visually clear
I like that it is visually clear, and has the spill protection features. But the metal tray on the bottom makes the keys noisy, it actually rings when you get to typing fast. Not sure the big keys are an asset for little kids (small hands). Makes it difficult to reach the keys for touch typing from the home row.

  • A simplified, structured layout with clear spacing and color coding to reduce visual clutter and typing errors
  • Mechanical tactile switches that provide clear physical feedback with every key press, helping users know when a key is activated

Aside from the different colored keycaps and fonts, there are no differences between the Clevy Keyboard 3 and Clevy Contrast Keyboard 3.

The keyboard is durable, but it is not waterproof and has no IP rating.

For disinfecting, use isopropyl alcohol 70 to 90 percent on a soft cloth.
