Priced at $99 and compatible with MagSafe and Qi2 charging standards, the slide\u2011out accessory is marketed as a universal solution that can attach to a wide range of smartphones, giving users a typing experience reminiscent of classic BlackBerry devices. As of the most recent update, 75\u202f% of the pre\u2011ordered units from the first production run have been delivered to customers.<\/p>\n<h2>Design, Build and Compatibility<\/h2>\n<p>The Power Keyboard is a compact, slide\u2011out unit that measures 119.7\u202f\u00d7\u202f76.6\u202f\u00d7\u202f15.2\u202fmm and weighs 180\u202fgrams. Its dimensions place it between a typical snap\u2011on battery pack and a full\u2011size case, and the company describes the packaging as premium, complete with peel\u2011away cling film and a full\u2011color Quick Start guide. The keyboard attaches to a phone either magnetically via MagSafe or Qi2, or alternatively with an adhesive ring or a magnetic\u2011enabled phone case for devices that lack native support.<\/p>\n<p>Clicks says the accessory works with a broad spectrum of phones, citing models such as the iPhone Air, iPhone\u202f17\u202fPro, iPhone\u202f17\u202fPro\u202fMax, iPhone\u202f16\u202fPro, Google Pixel\u202f9, Galaxy Fold and other Android handsets. The slide\u2011out mechanism can accommodate both portrait and landscape orientations, and the device automatically adjusts to different phone widths, including larger \u201cUltra\u201d or \u201cPro\u202fMax\u201d models. During testing, the reviewer paired the keyboard with an Android phone without issue, but experienced a pairing obstacle with an iPhone until following the manual\u2019s instruction to press a number key together with the power button to add a second Bluetooth device.<\/p>\n<h2>Connectivity, Power and Customisation<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike Clicks\u2019 earlier keyboard case, which drew power directly from a phone\u2019s USB\u2011C port, the Power Keyboard houses its own 2,150\u202fmAh lithium\u2011ion battery. The built\u2011in battery not only powers the keyboard itself but can also deliver wireless charging to MagSafe\u2011 or Qi2\u2011compatible devices. Users may allocate a portion of the battery for wireless charging or disable the feature entirely through the Clicks companion app.<\/p>\n<p>The accessory connects to phones via Bluetooth. To initiate pairing, the user holds the power button and slides the keyboard out. Adding a second device requires pressing a numeric key while holding the power button, and removing a device from the keyboard\u2019s memory must be done through the Clicks mobile app, as the \u201cforget\u201d function is not available via standard Bluetooth settings.<\/p>\n<p>Key\u2011board features include an adjustable LED backlight for low\u2011light typing, tactile clicky keys, and a configurable layout. Through the companion app, users can assign the dedicated \u201cClicks\u201d key as a Tab function, enable a \u201cCursor Mode\u201d that maps certain letters to directional controls, and customise the Return key to act as a hard or soft return. Additional shortcuts allow a number key combined with the Sym button to trigger actions such as Escape, volume control, media play\/pause, and page navigation. The app also supports Apple Shortcuts, enabling keys to launch calls, fetch weather forecasts, toggle the flashlight, initiate AirDrop, send texts, and more. Pre\u2011installed shortcuts are provided, and users may add their own.<\/p>\n<h2>User Experience, Comfort and Market Position<\/h2>\n<p>In hands\u2011on testing, the reviewer noted that the keyboard feels solid and the clicky keys are well\u2011placed, making them easy to reach. The learning curve for returning to physical typing after years of on\u2011screen keyboards is described as less steep than with Clicks\u2019 prior keyboard case, suggesting that the company has refined its ergonomics based on earlier feedback.<\/p>\n<p>However, the accessory\u2019s size and weight introduce handling challenges. When paired with larger phones such as the iPhone\u202f17\u202fPro\u202fMax or Pixel\u202f10\u202fXL, the combined device can feel top\u2011heavy, especially in portrait orientation, and may be difficult to hold securely. The reviewer observed that the keyboard could catch on a back pocket and slide open if pressure is applied while trying to stow the phone and keyboard together. The device\u2019s dimensions also make it unsuitable for a woman\u2019s pants pocket, according to the test notes.<\/p>\n<p>Landscape mode proved more comfortable for larger phones, while smaller models like the iPhone Air offered a better fit. The reviewer also experienced difficulty typing with an iPhone case on, noting that removing the case improved usability, though the larger phone size still presented some awkwardness.<\/p>\n<p>Clicks positions the Power Keyboard as a stop\u2011gap solution for users who miss the speed and reliability of a physical keyboard while they await the company\u2019s first dedicated smartphone, the Clicks Communicator, slated for release later this year. The Communicator, like the Power Keyboard, will feature an integrated physical keyboard, potentially eliminating the need for a separate accessory.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Power Keyboard delivers on its promise of providing a tactile typing experience for a range of smartphones at a relatively low price point. Its built\u2011in battery, wireless\u2011charging capability, and extensive customisation options make it appealing to power users and enthusiasts of physical keyboards. At the same time, the added bulk and the need for magnetic attachment limit its practicality for everyday pocket\u2011carry, especially with larger flagship phones. For users who value the BlackBerry\u2011style feel and are willing to accommodate the size trade\u2011off, the $99 Power Keyboard offers a functional, well\u2011crafted alternative to on\u2011screen typing.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clicks Technology\u2019s $99 Power Keyboard adds a slide\u2011out physical keyboard to any phone via MagSafe or Qi2, but its size and weight may limit everyday portability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1625,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[299],"tags":[1434,1430,1433,1431,1432],"class_list":["post-1624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-bluetooth-peripherals","tag-clicks-technology","tag-magsafe","tag-physical-keyboard","tag-smartphone-accessories","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
