As a freelance content creator who spends a lot of time on my iPhone, I was skeptical that a mobile keyboard could improve my workflow. But the Clicks Keyboard blew me away. It's like having a mini laptop in my pocket. Typing is fast and accurate, the customizable shortcuts are a game-changer (goodbye, repetitive tasks!), and the battery life is impressive. Plus, the build quality is ultra-premium.
I love the idea of the clicks. But with the iPhone pro max yikes it’s huge. I can’t put it in may bag easily and I can’t set it in my charger box In my car. So if I’m not going anywhere I then put the case on. It’s hard to hold it and type so I added a pop socket to hold while I type. Glad I’m a fonder. Hope you get better reviews than this. Thanks Becca
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.
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.
Love the feel of having an actual keyboard. Takes some getting used to especially if you have big fingers but I love having the option to use an actual keyboard. It is also great as I have more visual space on my iPhone as the virtual keyboard is not in the way. Great product!
Great overall experience. Relearning how to type on a physical keyboard took a week, but really enjoying the experience now. Be prepared to be asked about your Clicks every time you use it in public. People are fascinated with it and will ask you if that's a computer.
I can’t use an iPhone without Clicks now. Using one on my personal 16 Pro and my work 15. I even grabbed one to use for my Nothing Phone 1 device so I have Clicks on Android. If physical/qwerty is a need, you owe it to yourself to get a Clicks case.
Amazing bit of kit, and with a small adjustment with a sharp craft blade it fits and works perfectly on my Pixel 8 - amazing to have some buttons back!
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 love all the upgrades they made to this keyboard over previous models!
