I started using the keyboard phone from Nokia to Blackberry to Samsung S8, and now with Clicks. I will continue to use Clicks for the upcoming iphone 16 if it is still available. And in iPhone 16, I can shift from Pro model to smaller screen model
The operation and design are all top notch. The backlight on the dial is bright enough to use when typing in the dark without any problems. The best part is that I already enjoy typing, it's a great experience. I will always be concerned if this keyboard is compatible as a requirement when updating my smartphone.
I am enjoying my new Clicks keyboard. It reminds me fondly of my Blackberries of yore and yet provides a tonne of functionality to my Pixel device. Build quality is excellent and the clicking of the buttons is very satisfying.
Overall I have really enjoyed using my Clicks Keyboard, it works really well with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It does make the phone quite a lot longer, but that is a small price to pay for all of the additional usability it provides from the great keyboard to significantly more screen real estate.
I love the feel the look, the more time I use it I love it more.
Attention, tech enthusiasts and keyboard warriors! Remember the nostalgic days of tactile typing on your mobile phones? The satisfying clickety-clack that accompanied every text message, email, and hastily written note? Relive those moments with Clicks for iPhone, a resurrection of the lost art of physical keyboarding. As a seasoned veteran of the mobile phone scene, I've witnessed the rise and fall of countless trends, but few have intrigued me like Clicks. This ingenious little add-on empowers you to transform your sleek touchscreen iPhone into a pocket-sized productivity powerhouse, enhancing your efficiency on the go. The Clicks keyboard is a marvel of engineering, with well-spaced keys that provide just the right amount of tactile feedback. Typing on it is like typing on a miniature laptop, but without the bulk or the awkward stares from fellow commuters. Sure, it takes a bit of getting used to. My thumbs initially felt like a fish out of water, flopping around in search of their digital home. But after a few days of practice, I was zipping through emails and social media posts with newfound speed and accuracy. And let's remember the sheer joy of hearing that satisfying click with every keystroke. It's a symphony of productivity, a rhythmic reminder that you're getting things done. Of course, there are a few minor quibbles. The Clicks keyboard adds a bit of bulk to your iPhone and makes it longer. But for those of us who prioritize function over fashion, these are minor sacrifices. So, if you're tired of hunting and pecking on your touchscreen keyboard or simply yearning for the tactile typing experience of yesteryear, give Clicks for iPhone a try. Your thumbs will thank you.
I tend to watch much reviews and focus on negative reviews prior to buying any products. For the Clicks keyboard, some of the major concerns people have was that the product is gimmicky (not too much value), the weight distribution is an issue and the lack of MagSafe support. As an avid Blackberry user - even going back to the days of Sidekick and the Voicestream 3way V100 device (yikes! that old)...I have enjoyed using tactile buttons on a smart device. The Blackberry I used was the Blackberry Key2...which I enjoyed but am biased to my Apple ecosystem, so the Key2 had limited used except for business use. I was skeptical about the Clicks keyboard considering its founders were heavily invested in the Blackberry seen; thus meaning there was an emotional, nostalgic investment towards the products (not solely because it addressed an issue in the smart phone world). Anyways, after fighting resistance and opting to buy, I am more than satisfied with my purchase. The learning curve was more of a trip down memory lane as missteps (or missed taps keys) experienced during the first two weeks are not noticeable after a month of use. I can even type while not looking down and concentrating on my sports on the big screen. An act I was not able to fulfill since my days of using the Blackberry Bold and Sidekick. Even as much as I enjoyed my Blackberry Passport, I did find the keys too far apart while the Blackberry Key2 keys were too thin. While these keys tend to be smaller than I preferred, it is a conceded tradeoff that we must accept nowadays considering the smaller widths of phones. Noticeable benefits: I rarely take it out of the case. I was going to assume because of its size and lack of MagSafe, I was only going to use it during work hours to power through on emails. I find myself rarely taking it off and writing more social media posts on it. The top-heavy concern is not that much of an issue as I am already used to hold my phone is such a manner when typing on a virtual keyboard anyway. Now, typing on a tactile keyboard, it seems much more satisfying feeling my tips press on buttons knowing I am actually hitting a key - much like a keyboard. That sensation "tricks" my brain into knowing that I did not miss a key and I can concentrate much quicker on the next key or word, rather than continuously glancing on what I wrote to see if there are any errors on my sentence. The only draw back is the lack of MagSafe. For charging, it is not much of an issue as I can easily plug a USB-C wire or even lay it on top of a Qi Wireless charging puck. However, my daily wallet is MagSafe and I do see myself carrying it less. Thankfully, with Apple Wallet, most of my cards, IDs and commuter passes are all stored electronically so I do not need to have my physical wallet at my possession at all times. So, overall, I am highly satisfied with the product and glad I purchased it.
I frequently rely on my phone for work when I don't have my laptop available or rather too lazy to turn it on, and the addition of the keyboard clickskeys has been a fantastic enhancement. It makes tasks, especially typing, much easier and more enjoyable! However, I have noticed that it adds some weight to my iPhone Pro Max. I hope that future versions/iterations will offer just the keyboard without the case, as I prefer not to use cases on my phone to fully appreciate its design and feel. I'm still discovering all the features it offers, and overall, I'm having a really great and enjoyable experience.
Solid experience, took some getting used to (like any phone keyboard) but quickly became very efficient with typing. Received multiple comments: (1) Flight boarding - wow and had never seen before; (2) Apple Store - buying a new watch and genius desk loved the form; (3) Auto Dealer - test driving a car - took a photo for her family (missed physical keyboard). Did not buy for attention, but a super positive benefit!
I held out as long as I could at work with my BB Priv, but was told it was no longer safe to use and had to get an iPhone. This keyboard case has made the switch so much more bearable! I wish it came with a little strap on the back that I could put a finger or two thru to keep the phone from slipping forward too much. Also, the shift and alt keys are switched from the BB’s so I keep using the wrong one. Other than that, love it!
