"The Truly Ergonomic Keyboard does a lot of things right, but also leaves some things that could be improved upon." I mentioned this in my review of the CLEAVE's predecessor and I could very well have just said the same thing here too. At the $300 MSRP, there is not enough to tilt things in favor of the Truly Ergonomic CLEAVE given the compromises mentioned above. I'd rather get a smaller form factor keyboard such as the ZS Moonlander and call it a day, given I'd rather use layers and Fn keys there instead. The USP of the CLEAVE is definitely its unique design that allows for a relatively massive 91 keys on a keyboard that's still only as long as a typical 60-65% keyboard. This allows for keys you'd never see on such ergo-centric keyboards and then there are even dedicated keys for commonly used functions including Cut, Copy, Paste, and Undo!

What this also means is not everyone will be happy with the choices made by Truly Ergonomic here, especially with some redundancy and changes from what people expect when transitioning over. These add to the form factor differences to make for a fairly steep learning curve, and the lack of full key mapping solutions and 1st-party software control—something that was present on the previous Truly Ergonomic offering—doesn't help either. Thankfully there are enough pre-programmed options to help you get the keyboard to a point where you can then be content to learn, and re-learn, typing with ergonomics in mind. This the CLEAVE does quite well, making it worthy of consideration given the current $199 street pricing. It's not for everyone certainly, and know also that the company caters primarily to North America, but at the very least there are things here worthy of consideration, and perhaps this may be the perfect keyboard for you!
