I've always been a fan of physical keyboards on phones as I used to own a Blackberry and a Nokia many years ago. Now I can experience it all over again, thanks to Clicks!
I had the original Clicks keyboard for the iPhone 15, and while the color was a little outlandish, the ease of typing and new screen real estate made it feel like a "phablet." Now that I have been able to upgrade to the 16 Pro Max, I wanted to try out the second iteration of the Clicks keyboard, and I am so impressed. It has an Alcantara/suede interior the rear glass sits in, and I can see the manufacturer added a MagSafe magnet which I use daily. The camera bump is a little shallow to be very protective, but I keep this on my desk and in my pocket when I'm walking at work. The keyboard experience is confident, reliable (so far), and easy to become intuitive. I was always a BlackBerry user and have been quick but clumsy on touch screen keyboards but managed to get by with aggressive auto-correct. I am not a huge fan of voice to text because I work in tight settings. Thus, this really fits the bill for me. EVERYONE I work with asks about it and is impressed. The shortcuts help out, especially with the new Apple Intelligence command. I've just been really impressed ever since I learned about this keyboard concept from the Crackberry forum (I believe it was co-created by its founder). I hope to have this for the life of my iPhone, which I anticipate very heavy daily use for about three years. Updates to come :)
I was initially unsure about the price of this keyboard, but after using it for a while, I can definitely see the value. The quality of the materials is excellent, and the keyboard feels very sturdy. The buttons are also very responsive and accurate. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.
I love having physical buttons. I am a very tactile person. There is a learning curve, because the balance point is different. I have suggestions, but I am really enjoying using 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.
Clicks is brilliant enhances the experience of messaging with a physical keyboard and enables useful quick shortcuts 😀
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.
Just recently upgraded my iPhone after many years, and then as I was thinking "I guess I need a new case" I suddenly recalled seeing the CLICKS case somewhere. I searched online and when I found it, I knew I had to have it. It scratched the "It's like my old Blackberry" itch that I've been trying to recreate for years. Once getting it, and seeing how comically large it made my already too big phone, I was skeptical that I'd be able to handle this thing on a day to day basis. I couldn't have been more wrong. I absolutely LOVE it! Sure, it takes a little getting used to, but once you figure out how it balances, it's brilliant! It also get's a lot of attention when you use it. The very first day I had it out, 2 people commented on how cool it was. The only thing I had a problem with, is I like a lanyard on my phone to stop me fearing dropping it into the abyss when I'm taking pictures, so I cut a little hole in the side and installed my own. Can't say enough positive about this case. So fun, and lives up to the nostalgic hype.
"A keyboard that is user-friendly and works well in Japanese. Sometimes, the predictive text does not stand out when the background color of the app is the same. Although the body may become larger, using MagSafe-compatible pop sockets can provide stable use. I hope for future updates to include MagSafe compatibility. I have already ordered a second one!"
Typing from the Clicks Keyboard. I am an avid writer: poetry, prompts, etc. This has cut my time by I don’t even know how many percentages.
