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.
Been a physical keyboard user for more than 20 years. Clicks has nicely filled a gap in the physical keyboard domain while allowing user the freedom to choose between IPhone/Android. Can see alot of potential in Clicks and had already read many suggestions from other users which I am looking forward to see. Thanks Clicks.
I love the feedback of real buttons. It's so satisfying! Instead of getting my laptop out for longer messages, now I can just use my iPhone with Clicks.
I absolutely love the tactility of Clicks Keyboard. Brings me back to my BlackBerry days, but with more technological capabilities. Prior to purchasing the keyboard I had an iPhone 12. I loved the aesthetics of the keyboard so much that I upgraded to the 16 Pro just so I can have a keyboard. Love my Clicks!
It’s massive, it's gorgeous, it's a frutiger aero fever dream with a side of BlackBerry nostalgia. Clicks for iPhone completely transforms the way you use your phone, mostly for the better. The typing is smooth and fast, the muscle memory clicks in almost immediately if you’ve ever used a qwerty phone. The system and in-app shortcuts are awesome. Multilanguage keyboards on iOS work flawlessly, which is a must for my use. The only elephant in the room are the actual elephantine dimensions of your device with the case on. And i have an iPhone 15. Cannot imagine lugging along a Pro Max. I’d love the next version to either cover parts of the screen, to slide out or maybe fold out. Otherwise, it's mad, beautiful and won't be leaving my phone for quite a lot of time.
I bought 2 of these cases. One for me, and the other for my partner. We both love our cases. They’re great for Accessibility. We’re both visually impaired, and love having a tactile keyboard on our phones, freeing up our screen real estate to have access to buttons that get hidden by the onscreen keyboard on forms. Our only complaint was the non-inclusion of MagSafe. But we remedied that by buying the ESR halo lock 360, and adhering it to the back of the cases. Overall, we both highly recommend this product.
I really enjoy my Clicks keyboard, it allows me to accurately type long messages and is great especially when I am traveling for work.
Thanks to the physical keyboard, the convenience that can only be done with a physical keyboard is the best, such as being able to open the app directly using the function of the iPhone's shortcut app, and directly launch it directly to the designated person who has a phone, message, email, etc. I like it. In addition, it is also a useful feature that you can enter characters and slide the screen even with wet fingers and gloves on your fingers. Of course, my main goal was to be able to see the full screen and to input characters firmly and without making mistakes, but after actually using it, it is a satisfaction as expected. I also made a reservation for RAZR 50 ULTRA, so I can't wait for the shipment at the end of May.
