Hype - poor ergonomics
on September 26, 2024
Posted by: BohanC
the design is flawed, poor ergonomics, the most important typing aspect is also not great. the only up side is it make the iphone longer more comfortable to hold while making a call.

Not suited for Scandinavians
on September 26, 2024
Posted by: JensO
The keyboard is good with English, but very cumbersome with Scandinavian letters and when switching keyboards in Iphone, the alternate functions do not work. It does not have the Blackberry feel. The keys are too small and not "twisted" ergonomically like on a Blackeberry. Furthermore the Blackberry had a lot of shortcuts to make typing easier - also to access æ,ø,å - which I am missing. Interesting experience, but so far a waste of money.

In less than a month. With normal use. Case cracked at keyboard. I take it out of the case once or twice a day or various reasons, which actually is recommended or USB use with Apple CarPlay. I emailed with picture five days ago, got a response back that it would go to their team. But I have still heard nothing.
Overall, I enjoyed the keyboard. Some of it was clunky, but I know that that is being addressed. However, this seems to be a design issue. Either way I would’ve expected a response. If a replacement is not offered, I do not intend to purchase another until I am assured this not Unknown issue.

Surprisingly Satisfied; a taste of functionality with a hint of nostalgia

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.

Disappointed
on October 1, 2024
Posted by: AdrianDPP
I was really expecting my Clicks but tu start off the minute you make the purchase you lose track of the order. I had to contact you several times for updates as the carrier you chose did not provide any updates. I liked the product but it drained my battery way too fast to be usable on a daily basis (firmware was updated and low power enabled) so I had to sadly returnit and another disappointment again… not only did I have to pay for the return but you kept a “restocking fee” that was not explained anywhere. The whole experience with you was really frustrating hence I won’t be recommending anyone to buy from you nor your product.

Clicks keyboard
on October 5, 2024
Posted by: GuydR
I have been very pleased with the keyboard.
Takes a bit of getting used to - but is worth the brain effort.
Lots of comments from colleagues and friends, 95% positive.

Mixed feelings
on October 5, 2024
Posted by: ObaidullahK
A chronic Blackberry user. Have owned and loved all Bolds during the BB era, followed by a quick stint with a Nokia Qwerty phone. I am 6 feet tall surgeon and have reasonably appropriate sized hands for someone my built.
The reason I purchased a clicks keyboard was for the nostalgia and to help me text when I am gloved which is most times in the OR, prepping prior to surgery. In fact, I was so obsessed with this notion, I sold my samsung s24 ultra and purchased an iphone 15 pro, just because clicks don't make products for androids yet.
Here is my honest feedback:
1. Looks - 10/10 - Its a head turner no doubt. I added a blackberry wallpaper to my device and now everyone who glances asks me if BB have returned. There have been times I've said yes.
2. Built quality - 9/10 - I wish they had added the top line of the keyboard with the call, menu and navigation buttons as well. This would make the phone world class.
3. Key press 10/10 - Clicky and nice. Just like the blackberrys. Accidental sends have happened a few times, but I guess its more of a learning curve or regaining the muscle memory
4. Weight balance 6/10 - Still feel phone is heavier than the keyboard, but I guess this could be a lot worse if they had not already paid attention to this.
5. Connectivity 6/10 - Charges well. Holds battery well. Only issue is that the USBC still does not connect to wired apple car play.
6. Do I see using this forever - Not a chance. Texting with a touch screen with predictive text has certainly become a lot quicker. When the Nostalgia thirst quenches, you may find yourself returning to your normal phone.
7. Was is worth it given the price tag? Well, if you have money to spare in todays day and age, go for it. If not, (and I am very sad to say this), we need to move on as buttons have become history.
