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.
the keyboard is a perfect extension of the phone. Without other keyboard phones on the market, this is the best way to have a physical keyboard with your phone. I get many comments and compliments on this clever design. I hope Clicks continues to make a keyboard for all my future phones!
This is the product I have unknowingly been waiting for. After getting used to it and setting it up with the correct keyboard setting I am very happy with my purchase. Typing just becomes so much fun like in the old blackberry days. Great work guys! Cheers from Sweden.
It is fantastic. There is a learning curve, but the daily emails with tips and tricks for the first week were super helpful. At least three people I know have ordered after seeing mine. If you abhor typing on a screen and miss the days you could fly on your ‘Berry, this is for you. Thank you, Clicks!
Clicks is brilliant enhances the experience of messaging with a physical keyboard and enables useful quick shortcuts 😀
As a freelance content creator who spends a lot of time on my iPhone, I was skeptical that a mobile keyboard could improve my workflow. But the Clicks Keyboard blew me away. It's like having a mini laptop in my pocket. Typing is fast and accurate, the customizable shortcuts are a game-changer (goodbye, repetitive tasks!), and the battery life is impressive. Plus, the build quality is ultra-premium.
I am typing this review on the Clicks keyboard because i love it so much! There was a bit of a learning curve to it but they send you a weeks worth of daily emails to help acclimate to it. All the space on the back is prime real estate for stickers and personalization!
