By DaMarko Webster

Clicks Technology, the brainchild of Kevin Michaluk, also known as CrackBerry Kevin, and Michael Fisher, also known as MrMobile, has revealed its latest innovation – the Clicks Keyboard. This nostalgic offering, reminiscent of the iconic BlackBerry silhouette, is a keyboard accessory enclosed within a unibody silicon case that seamlessly slides onto the user’s iPhone. The connection is established through either the lightning port or USB-C, depending on the iPhone model, providing users with a fully-functional QWERTY keyboard.

Clicks made it’s physical debut at CES 2024 , the Clicks Keyboard comes in Bumblebee yellow and London Sky gray colorways, allowing users to “maximize [their] screen space.” Functioning as a plug-and-play smart case, the keyboard eliminates the need for a Bluetooth connection. Powered directly by the iPhone, this lightweight accessory has no built-in battery, ensuring it adds minimal weight to the phone. Charging the iPhone is convenient, requiring a simple plug into the pass-through port at the bottom, without the need to remove the case. Additionally, the keyboard features a backlight for enhanced usability.

Notably, the Clicks Keyboard supports IOS shortcuts and voice-to-text functionality, offering users the convenience of commands like “CMD + H” to return to the home screen or “CMD + Space” to access the search function, among various other commands. Priced starting at $139 USD for the iPhone 14 size, the Clicks offering stands out as the first-ever iPhone creator keyboard. Fisher emphasizes that this keyboard isn’t a mere replication of past designs but is specifically tailored for the iPhone. He highlights the unique number format, where, unlike the original BlackBerry keyboard’s dialpad layout on the left-hand side, the Clicks Keyboard aligns with the IOS layout, placing numbers 0-9 along the top. For a detailed overview of this groundbreaking keyboard, Fisher provides insights in the video announcing the launch.
