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.

Just very good

Clicks’ keyboard case for the iPhone 14 Pro is a game-changer, merging retro charm with modern functionality. By freeing up screen space and introducing intuitive keyboard shortcuts, it enhances productivity and brings a nostalgic tactile feel to your device. Truly, it’s a low-key impressive accessory.

I have been waiting years for a physical keyboard to re-appear and am delighted it has arrived. My only concern is that there may be no options for folks that need or prefer a smaller phone. My favorite phone has been the iPhone mini that actually fits my hands and to have a physical keyboard for it would be wonderful.

Using the native iOS shortcuts and setting up custom ones in the Shortcuts is where the real power behind this accessory comes into play. It's also refreshing to have the entire display of my iPhone 15 Pro Max visible, instead of having a pop-up keyboard that consumes a third of the screen. I also hate the default iPhone keyboard, and find third party keyboards to be mostly an exercise in frustration. Lots of lessons have been learned in the process, and the folks at Clicks truly brought their expertise and attention to detail with the design and build of the Clicks Keyboard. It is now an essential accessory for me, and I continue to figure out ways to make it better on a regular basis. If you miss the physical keyboard on devices like the Blackberry, this accessory is well worth the cost.
