This brutalist machined aluminum keyboard is still beautiful.

Serene Industries is following up on its massive wedge-shaped Icebreaker keyboard with a smaller, lighter alternative called the Cleaver. Available for preorder now for $850 it’s also cheaper, but by no means cheap.

Machined from a single block of aluminum, the Cleaver features Hall effect switches and swappable aluminum keycaps perforated with holes to allow LED backlighting to shine through. It’s USB-C only, and available with Windows or Mac layouts and clear or black anodized finishes.

<em>The Cleaver is available for preorder and will go into production a few weeks after launch.</em>
<em>You can order the Cleaver without the matching aluminum keycaps if you want to use your own, dropping the preorder price to $650.</em>
<em>The Cleaver offers no wireless connectivity, but the lack of an internal battery helps keep its design slim.</em>
