Writing this review on my Clicks right now. As someone who grew up with a BlackBerry and missed the feeling of physical keys, Clicks has been amazing! I don’t want to use my phone without it now.
I have received & used your product, unfortunately i have faced two issues: - phone size 15 pro max after adding keyboard became really oversized for daily use. - as Arab country you need to add arabic letters for easier experience.
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.
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.
This keyboard not only makes typing on my iPhone a breeze, but it also looks fantastic. The sleek design complements my phone perfectly. The buttons have a nice, tactile feel that makes typing a joy. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a stylish and functional keyboard.
At first it takes a while to get used to the keys. But then you gain speed and comfort when writing emails or social networks or, in my case, programming.
Having a keyboard again to maximize the screen is absolutely essential. Felt programmed for years to think otherwise. Couldn't be more grateful for this to be in my hands.
I love love LOVE this case. I have truly missed the days of blackberries and it just feels SO nice to have a physical keyboard again. This case is definitely a head turner but it is so worth it. It has brought the joy back to using my phone and makes me feel like i have a little computer in my pocket. The layout is nearly perfect. The only thing i wish is that they was a way to make the “enter” button go to the next line instead of sending text but its okay. Ill live.
For those who have had keyboard phones in the past, you just pick it up and start using it without looking pretty quickly and you get the full screen real estate back to view more content.
