for the generation that grew up with blackberry and physical keyboards, Clicks is a Godsend! I have missed typing without looking at the screen or they keys, and I’m getting there! A few more weeks I suppose! And definitely starts a few conversations when they see my pull my phone out to type!
I was hesitant about a clip-on keyboard for phones, but this Clicks Keyboard has completely changed my mind. The buttons have a great feel to them, just like a real keyboard, and they make typing so much faster and more accurate. The design is also very sleek and professional-looking. I don't regret this purchase at all!
The clicks on the keyboard are comfortable and easy to type and I never press the wrong key at all. I have created 42 keyboard shortcuts using iOS shortcuts and Clicks mode, so most of my work is completed using the keyboard alone. However, when using Japanese, there are many cases where "ー" is used in Japanese words, so a separate key is necessary. Also, it would be very inconvenient if there were not an icon to indicate whether the active input language is Japanese or English. If these two points are improved, I believe that the use of the system among Japanese people will increase significantly.
I thought it was gonna be easy like learning to ride a bike again. I was wrong, but it takes a little more time to get used to physical keyboards again.
I love my clicks keyboard. However, coming from Android (gboard), and BlackBerry previous to that, I really miss long press for alternate input. It would be amazing if you could add long press to input the symbols that are noted on the keys. I'm aware that this is difficult with iOS, but there are keyboard apps which do it so it should be doable with clicks.
It is fun to use the physical keyboard on iPhone. The best part is it makes your phone stand out from all the other phones!
My Clicks is on a Pixel 9. It makes the quote quite long, but the keyboard is worth it. Yes, I was once a Blackberry user, and yes, I'm over 50. For me, the keyboard eliminates most typos, and allows me to work faster. Also, the extra screen real estate, due to no one screen keyboard showing, is quite useful for longer messags, and in chat. The quality of the build and fit of the keyboard case seem very qood after a few weeks of daily use.
Overall, my experience with the Clicks Technology device has been good. It brings back the nostalgia of the BlackBerry days with its accuracy and fantastic tactile feel — typing is smooth, responsive, and very enjoyable. On the positive side, the keyboard makes long typing sessions easier and more precise. However, since I’m using it with the iPhone Pro Max 16, the overall length is quite a bit longer, which took me about two weeks to get fully comfortable with. The size also makes it a little tricky to fit into pockets easily. In short: Pros: Excellent typing accuracy, tactile feedback, nostalgic BlackBerry-like experience. Cons: Larger size on Pro Max 16 takes adjustment, not pocket-friendly.
I use Microsoft Outlook for emails on my iPhone and when I'm typing between the keyboard and Outlook icons it takes up over half the screen - I can barely see the message I'm typing. Putting Clicks on gives me so much more space. Total game changer for me.
