As someone who grew up with the satisfying click of a BlackBerry keyboard, I've always felt something was missing from the modern smartphone experience. When I first saw the Clicks Keyboard, I was intrigued but skeptical. Now, after several weeks of using it on my iPhone 16 Pro, I can confidently say I'm obsessed and can't imagine going back. The typing itself is a joy. The build quality is excellent. It feels like a premium, well-thought-out product, not a cheap accessory.
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.
This product is really nice and easy to use. The keyboard has a comfortable touch and feedback. I highly recommend it.
great service, fast exchange and replies. Would recommend
I love the feel the look, the more time I use it I love it more.
Huge fan of MrMobile so ordered right away when I saw Clicks got announced. Never was a real keyboard guy but now I get why he's never given up on buttons.
I only had it two days and I love it!Almost used it the buttons.Easy and amazing 💕
Really impressed with the overall quality of Clicks. Thought the pricing was expensive but now that I have it and use it I get it. They could double the price and I'd buy it still.
I have enjoyed using the Clicks "Precision Typing Instrument" immensely - Typing and browsing with "Clicks" is so much more satisfying than typing on glass. It's also beautiful, well built and fits my Iphone 15 perfectly.
