Hi everyone,

I'm part of the team at Clevy, and I wanted to share a keyboard we've developed for people who may find a conventional keyboard difficult to use.

Clevy is a mechanical keyboard designed specifically with accessibility in mind, including for children and people with motor or visual impairments.

One of the things that makes Clevy different is that it isn't limited to the traditional QWERTY layout. It can be configured with different layouts depending on the user's needs, including:

• ABCDE
• QWERTY
• AZERTY
• QWERTZ
• and other layouts

There are also different language configurations, including Italian, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, International, Serbian, and others.

The keyboard is available with uppercase or lowercase lettering, depending on the user's preference.

For people with motor impairments, Clevy can also be used together with a keyguard, which helps limit accidental key presses and can make individual keys easier to target.

The example above is the lowercase ABCDE layout.

We originally developed Clevy because a standard keyboard doesn't necessarily work well for everyone. For some users, simply changing the arrangement, appearance, or physical accessibility of the keys can make a significant difference.

We're sharing this here primarily to raise awareness that accessible mechanical keyboards exist and to hear from the mechanical keyboard community.

If you've worked with accessible technology, occupational therapy, special education, assistive technology, or have experience designing keyboards for people with different accessibility needs, we'd be particularly interested in hearing your thoughts.

If you'd like to discuss accessible mechanical keyboards, different layouts, key guards, or assistive technology, we've also created r/Clevy_AssistiveTech as a place for those conversations.

Since I've remapped most of my top row, I wanted something contrasting and without labels. Bought an $8 set of clear amber caps on Amazon and removed the labels. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and I'm considering if there's anywhere else I should swap out.

For many years I have been using a keyboard with blue clicky switches, for both work and gaming. I love the typing feel, and I've gotten used to the sound.

I decided to give brown tactile switches a try. I didn't care much for it at first, but after using it for a day I started to appreciate the improvement in sound. It has a softer 'tuck' sound compared to a louder 'click' sound and is much easier on the ears.

I still have a slight preference for the feel of clicky switches, but the sound improvement of tactiles is so much more significant for me, I don't think I'll go back anytime soon. It's one of those things you might not realize until you try something else.

This is all personal preference of course, but for those of you like me who have always been using clicky, consider trying out tactile for a few days. Used ones are quite affordable (just have to give it a good clean).

I also tried linear and it also sounded much better than clicky, but wasn't for me as I like to have that physical feedback.

Just wanted to share my experience on this.

I’ve had a GMMK Pro since it first released. For a little while I tried tweaking things - I bought new stabs because stock was rough. Got a new plate, did a group buy for keycaps. And I’ve lived with it since.

Now 5 years later I decide to look into whether wireless options exist… and what the fuck. Neo, Evo, Athena, Wave, Bridge, Yunzii AL. How the hell do you decide?

I grew tired of the endless rabbit holes of research and got the Wave 75 from Amazon. Low risk, I could always return it.

My god. This board absolutely blew my dick off. Soft pings of ecstasy. I looked at my GMMK in shame and horror. I was sold a lie and accepted it for all these years.

Now I’m questioning everything and wondering if I want to even keep the Wave. Should I forsake the chonky boards and go low profile? Or maybe something more premium? Do I need a screen to watch The Odyssey? I’ve opened Pandora’s box and realized what humanity is capable of.

I wanted to share my recent warranty experience with Keychron regarding a brand-new Q1 Max.

The keyboard had two defective keycaps almost immediately:

• The Spacebar tilts when pressed from one side, and if I rotate the Spacebar 180°, the problem moves with the keycap.
• The right Alt key has a visible molding/finish defect.

I contacted Keychron Support and provided detailed photos, videos, and all the troubleshooting they requested.

After reviewing the case, Keychron explicitly wrote:

They then requested my shipping address and said:

Only after I provided my address did they introduce the issue of DHL shipping to Serbia costing at least $50. They then asked me to pay half of the shipping cost.

I declined because the replacement had already been approved “at no charge”, with no shipping charge mentioned at the time.

I asked for the case to be escalated to a supervisor / Global Support Lead and also contacted Keychron Support on X. They found my ticket and said they would check with the agent.

There was still no resolution.

The latest email I received asked me to “provide an other shipping address”, despite the fact that I already provided my complete and valid shipping address in Serbia and do not have another address in another country.

At this point, I am not asking for anything beyond the warranty replacement Keychron already reviewed and approved.

Full timeline, screenshots, photos, and the original discussion are here:

Update: Keychron Support posted an official response here, but the comment is no longer visible to me. I have a screenshot of the response and have kept it for the record.

Still a wip with photos but loving the set

I think I might have found my endgame keyboard - Space Cadet.

Good that it's huge！I need huge keyboards to compensate for something that is fundamentally small in life.

so... Rub Out！

I made a custom keyboard badge for Nuclear Data Inc ND 6600 (the color that Nuke Data keycaps are based off)

No AI used to design the logo I drew it in GIMP. I'm no computer design expert and the font isn't an EXACT match but it's close enough.

Boop65 r1 with fr4 plate, 8008 inks, tap modded, gmk dots.

Moving apartments and wanted to lay out the whole collection in all its glory.

The set finished production last week and is on its way to vendors and then group buy participants. The international kit is now available from the GMK web store - coming in a light and dark version, light matching the base and dark matching the alternate alphas kit.

Designed by bachoo.

This was my first premium set I’ve bought and man I’m in love.

Pleasantly surprised by how clean it looks!
Was going to build the Piglet with the same keycaps but the PCB on the piglet is not working :(

I posted about my build almost 4 months ago and how my set from thekapco was missing a key cap (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/s/GcJLGn0SSm). Well after multiple threats of a chargeback, and many many promises, I finally received the missing close bracket key. My board is finally complete. Now it’s time to tear it all apart and build something else! 😂

Had to delete post to change one photo, sorry -

Uniqmag UQ68 with stock switches, since they are mag-lev and springless, and added a custom keycap set, with one Nuphy Ghost Bar in gray, though I may change the color to yellow.

Sounds great, and is overall great, but the software is missing some key remaps I want, plus no way to make the backlight timeout. However I have emailed customer service before and while it took a few tries, they did immediately come through for me.

First keyboard I have ever bought after seeing a hipyotech video lol

Never post, usually always lurking👀, but want to drop my newest builds to my growing family.
