Click into the keyboard
"A keyboard that is user-friendly and works well in Japanese. Sometimes, the predictive text does not stand out when the background color of the app is the same. Although the body may become larger, using MagSafe-compatible pop sockets can provide stable use. I hope for future updates to include MagSafe compatibility. I have already ordered a second one!"
I like to switch up my case and sometimes it’s just nice to have a physical keyboard. Makes emails much easier when I can see everything and still have a full keyboard. Haven’t worked out all the shortcuts yet but I’ll get there when I need to.
I had the original Clicks keyboard for the iPhone 15, and while the color was a little outlandish, the ease of typing and new screen real estate made it feel like a "phablet." Now that I have been able to upgrade to the 16 Pro Max, I wanted to try out the second iteration of the Clicks keyboard, and I am so impressed. It has an Alcantara/suede interior the rear glass sits in, and I can see the manufacturer added a MagSafe magnet which I use daily. The camera bump is a little shallow to be very protective, but I keep this on my desk and in my pocket when I'm walking at work. The keyboard experience is confident, reliable (so far), and easy to become intuitive. I was always a BlackBerry user and have been quick but clumsy on touch screen keyboards but managed to get by with aggressive auto-correct. I am not a huge fan of voice to text because I work in tight settings. Thus, this really fits the bill for me. EVERYONE I work with asks about it and is impressed. The shortcuts help out, especially with the new Apple Intelligence command. I've just been really impressed ever since I learned about this keyboard concept from the Crackberry forum (I believe it was co-created by its founder). I hope to have this for the life of my iPhone, which I anticipate very heavy daily use for about three years. Updates to come :)
Having a real keyboard again is fantastic. I can touch type with so few errors again. The feedback from the buttons is great. The keyboard itself is a perfectly ergonomically designed. A great great all round product.
I have been living with Parkinson’s disease for the past 12 years, while enjoying a long, mostly, successful career as a corporate immigration lawyer for the past 30. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive, incurable disease that manifests a whole range of symptoms. The most common is a constant, involuntary rhythmic tremor in one hand, at rest. I mourned the day when an iPhone was issued to me as a younger lawyer to replace the Blackberry. I could never master the flatscreen, glass keyboard. Every word had to be retyped. I think even autocorrect gave up on me. I thought I was destined to forever apologize for my typos. Then I heard about the Clicks keyboard and it was music to my ears. Or, more accurately, a blessing to my twitchy, right-hand fingers. I have smile on my face every time I see my fingers whizz across the keyboard with ease. I am learning how to rest the keyboard on my pinky fingers. The combined weight acts as an anchor to steady my tremor. I know that there are many more features that will make my experience even better. But for now, all I want to say is: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. You have allowed to me to go back to the future.
Absolutely love Clicks !! As someone who appreciates tactile feels, the joy of having physical keys on my phone brings me back to the happy innocent days . Combining it with Razr gives me the best of bothworlds. The convenience of a flip phone and having a physical keyboard. I really hope that Gen 2 will have move customisable buttons and include home and back button so the only time I touch my phone screen will be to have a closer look at that weird thing on my skin ! Thanks Clicks for the creation Special thanks and credit to Amber from Support who sorted out the delivery issues faced.
It is fantastic. There is a learning curve, but the daily emails with tips and tricks for the first week were super helpful. At least three people I know have ordered after seeing mine. If you abhor typing on a screen and miss the days you could fly on your ‘Berry, this is for you. Thank you, Clicks!
The excitement of having a physical keyboard died down a bit when I realized that the backlight was not very bright for me. So I contacted Clicks and a week later, Clicks updated their app to enable customization of their physical keyboard.
Great product, but unfortunately the keys and balance doesn’t work well well for me. I would also like the keyboard to be heavier or weighted. It made the phone too long and floppy. My hands have some flexibility limitations, so the product just wasn’t right for me. A modified case with a battery bump, under the keyboard and extending towards the top of the phone, might help the phone’s holding balance with the additional benefit of an external battery pack. Just a thought for a future version.
I love the ability to use a physical keyboard again. Easy to attach and detach as needed. The shortcuts are great. Love the backlight customization. Overall meets all my needs and gives me a break from purely digital world. Five stars.
