In a nostalgic nod to the era of physical keyboards on smartphones, the upcoming accessory "Clicks" is set to revolutionize iPhone typing.
Developed with inputs from renowned phone industry YouTubers, this innovative keyboard case brings back the tactile experience of physical keys, promising a game-changing enhancement for iPhone users.
The Clicks Keyboard: A Reimagined Typing Experience
As CNET reports, 2007 is the year when the first iPhone came out and since then, Apple has completely shifted from keyboard phones to all-screen phones.
While others miss typing letters on a keyboard case, the modern era does not embrace it anymore. However, for iPhone users who want to feel the clunky texture of the physical keyboard, Clicks has a solution just for you.
Ahead of the anticipated CES 2024, the company will reveal how this keyboard works in an iPhone case.
Why Clicks Keyboard For iPhone is a Game-Changer?
Clicks distinguishes itself with three significant advantages, according to another report by 9to5Mac. First and foremost, it maximizes screen real estate by eliminating the need for an on-screen virtual keyboard. The physical keyboard, seamlessly integrated into the case, effectively doubles the usable space on the iPhone.
Precision in typing takes center stage as Clicks emphasizes the benefits of physical keyboards for typing speed. Meticulous attention has been paid to every aspect of the keyboard's design, ensuring an intuitive layout for iPhone users.
We labored over every decision from exactly how the buttons should feel to the keyboard layout, ensuring it would be intuitive for iPhone users," Clicks Technology co-founder and YouTuber Kevin Michaluk said.
For those unfamiliar with Michaluk, he is popularly known as CrackBerry Kevin on his YouTube channel.
In addition to these features, Clicks introduces keyboard shortcuts, enhancing efficiency. Supporting iOS and various apps, users can enjoy shortcuts like pressing CMD + H to navigate to the home screen swiftly, launching Search with CMD + Space, or effortlessly scrolling through web pages using the space bar.
No Need For Extra Battery
Clicks operate without the need for a separate battery, drawing power directly from the iPhone. The case retains compatibility with wireless charging and MagSafe functionality, maintaining the device's core capabilities.
Backlit keys ensure visibility in low-light environments, and the one-piece design guarantees a snug fit, avoiding any compromises in the accessory's aesthetics or functionality.
Clicks Keyboard Case Variants You Need to Know
Clicks caters to different iPhone models with three variants. The first was designed for the iPhone 14 Pro with a Lightning connector and two USB-C options for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Priced at $139, all variants are available for pre-order, with shipping scheduled to commence on February 1. The initial color offerings include "BumbleBee" yellow and "London Sky" gray/blue, with promises of additional colors for early buyers.
Gone are the days for BlackBerry users to go back to the past and endlessly chat with their friends using a physical keyboard for their phones. However, with Clicks' innovative product, iPhone users can feel what exactly should be felt when using this kind of accessory.
Alongside Michaluk, Clicks is co-founded by another content creator Michael Fisher, who goes by the name MrMobile, according to Engadget.
