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 only had it two days and I love it!Almost used it the buttons.Easy and amazing 💕
I can't type on a screen based keyboard. It is just too frustrating so I held on to my Blackberry way past its expiration date. With Clicks I was able to upgrade to the latest model Apple phone and still use a keyboard for texts, emails, web browsing and apps input. It is a terrific innovation!
After upgrading my 15 Pro Max, I acquired this case, which has proven to be an invaluable asset. It evokes fond memories of my Blackberry era, and I will continue to use it. The Spice color is particularly aesthetically pleasing.
I love the feel the look, the more time I use it I love it more.
I like the object, but I'm blind, so I have some difficulty using the app. There are many unlabeled buttons.
there is a learning curve and getting your muscle memory will take time but as a former blackberry lover i knew what i was getting into. i have the 14 pro max and it does make my phone huge but it’s always in my hand or my purse so it doesnt bother me much. love being able to use the keyboard to run shortcuts
I started using the keyboard phone from Nokia to Blackberry to Samsung S8, and now with Clicks. I will continue to use Clicks for the upcoming iphone 16 if it is still available. And in iPhone 16, I can shift from Pro model to smaller screen model
Clicks finally gives me the satisfaction of typing long form texts & emails that I've missed for nearly a decade. Any excuse to text someone a novel, or to take meeting points in an email, I'm ready to go! The tactile buttons & the "click" of each key on this case never fails to bring a smile to my face!
Solid experience, took some getting used to (like any phone keyboard) but quickly became very efficient with typing. Previous heavy Blackberry user missed the experience so much. Received multiple laudatory comments in a matter of two weeks: (1) Boarding a flight - "wow" and had never seen before; (2) Apple Store - buying a new watch and genius desk loved the form; (3) Auto Dealer - test driving a car - salesperson took a photo for her family (who missed physical keyboard). Did not buy for attention, but a super positive benefit!
