Pricing

Lead vendor — both runs: Serene Industries ($850), the designer selling direct; no other vendor is named.

• Black anodizing rose $650 → $850 between the two runs; clear was $850 in both. The two colourways are now the same price, and the 2026 listing quotes "starting at $850.00".
• The 2025 run let you pick either win key or mac key (keycap), and priced with/without keycaps identically. The 2026 listing has only one option — Color — and its SKUs (cleaver_win_clr_caps_b1, cleaver_win_blk_caps_b1) are Windows-layout with keycaps, so the layout and no-keycap choices are not offered this run.
• Shipping is calculated at checkout, not included.
• 20 units listed available per colourway (40 total) at time of the 2026 scrape.
• The sale-open time ("Opens 12:00 PM, Sept 1") is prose on the page — there is no machine-readable countdown. published_at (2025-04-22) is the Shopify publish date, which matches the 2025 run's open date, not the 2026 open.

brutal, yet slim keyboard milled from a solid billet of aluminum

Cleaver is a hall effect mechanical keyboard machined from a single block of aluminum, utilizing our best engineering takeaways from the release of the Icebreaker. It's much thinner and lighter and yet it offers the same stature and brutal design language that you would expect to see from our products. When we designed Cleaver, the goal was to provide as essential and effective of a typing experience as possible, trim the fat and remove everything that is unnecessary. Hall Effect switches are hotswappable, keycaps are interchangeable. Please note: this is a pre-order and manufacturing will start as soon as pre-orders close — two weeks after launch. Please allow us around 8 weeks to start processing orders, we make exclusive, handcrafted goods, so please allow us to work through every order with care and individual attention.
