Love the case, old school blackberry vibes
Great product, but unfortunately the keys and balance doesn’t work well well for me. I would also like the keyboard to be heavier or weighted. It made the phone too long and floppy. My hands have some flexibility limitations, so the product just wasn’t right for me. A modified case with a battery bump, under the keyboard and extending towards the top of the phone, might help the phone’s holding balance with the additional benefit of an external battery pack. Just a thought for a future version.
Depuis que j’ai cette coque clavier Clicks, je ne peux plus m’en passer ! Très beau design. Une facilité d’adaptation sans précédent. Tout est vraiment parfait / suggestion peut-être rajouter une icône qui s’affiche quand la touche MAJ ou 123 est ou reste activé. Mais je suis 100% satisfait de ce produit je recommande !
To start, I'd like to point out that I'm visually impaired. That gives me quite some trouble with touchscreen keyboards. So I've been using physical keyboard phones all my life starting with Nokia's and ending with a Blackberry Key2. The last few years there's almost no new phones in the physical keyboard niche market though and so i was pretty worried about how to keep using smartphones. That's until I read an article about Clicks keyboard. I was immediatly interested and intrigued. However, I'm nogt a big fan of the iPhone so i postponed purchasing it. That's until I read that it was compatible with the Nothing phone as well. I immediatly ordered both the Nothing phone and Clicks keybaord and I've been using it for a week now. It really is a lifesaver. There were some delays in the delivery but that can't spoil the fun. Now I'm hoping you will release the Clicks companion app for android as well so i can configure it properly. Built-in features like double space for interpunction and starting sentences with capital letters isn't working properly. But that are just minor issues. Overall I'm very gratefull to you for releasing this product and am looking forward to your future android products.
The keyboard quality is good and easy to typing. And the delivery service also very nice.
かつてのジャックバウアーの気分！昔のBlackBerryが甦ったようにタイピングを楽しめる❣️末長く大切に使い続けたい，cool なギアをありがとう( ＾∀＾)
The clicks on the keyboard are comfortable and easy to type and I never press the wrong key at all. I have created 42 keyboard shortcuts using iOS shortcuts and Clicks mode, so most of my work is completed using the keyboard alone. However, when using Japanese, there are many cases where "ー" is used in Japanese words, so a separate key is necessary. Also, it would be very inconvenient if there were not an icon to indicate whether the active input language is Japanese or English. If these two points are improved, I believe that the use of the system among Japanese people will increase significantly.
I had high hopes for the Clicks keyboard. I specifically purchased an Iphone 14 pro to allow for a reasonable sized combination with the Clicks keyboard as well as compatibility with wired Carplay. I had been using a Blackberry Key 2 and then Unihertz Titan Slim and the Iphone 14 pro with Clicks is vastly superior to either of those. After 10 days or so I have gotten used to the key locations and typing is quick and accurate. Initially there was a couple of glitches with the Clicks losing connection with the Iphone, but that has not occurred at all since. A dream come true for a keyboard aficionado! As the title indicates Clicks with an Iphone is "Better than Expected"!
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.
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 :)
