Clicks Debuts Power Keyboard

Posted in Commentary with tags on January 2, 2026 by itnerd

Clicks Technology today announced Clicks Power Keyboard, a compact keyboard designed to bring fast, confident typing to smart devices plagued by slow, awkward, or frustrating input.

As phones, tablets, TVs, and headsets have gotten smarter, the way people interact with technology hasn’t kept pace. Touchscreens, remotes, and virtual keyboards leave users struggling to type, search, and respond when it matters most. Clicks Power Keyboard addresses that gap with a premium typing experience that helps people use their technology with greater purpose and intention.

Clicks Power Keyboard is available to pre-order for $79 USD with availability in the Spring.

Smart Devices Need Smarter Input

Input today often means fighting interfaces that were never designed for speed or precision.

“Whether you’re typing on a phone, entering a password on a smart TV, or trying to work on a tablet, input today is slow, cumbersome, and frustrating,” said Kevin Michaluk, President and co-founder of Clicks. “Power Keyboard brings a consistent, confident typing experience to all your smart devices, in a compact keyboard you can take anywhere in your pocket.”

The success of the Clicks Keyboard case for iPhone, Pixel, and Motorola Razr demonstrated strong demand for tactile input on modern devices, with more than 100,000 units shipped globally despite supporting a handful of popular smartphone models. Clicks Power Keyboard builds on that momentum, extending physical input to a far broader ecosystem of devices, including hundreds of millions of iPhone and Android smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, headsets, and connected screens.

Extending the Capabilities of Smartphones

Clicks Power Keyboard attaches to smartphones using a strong MagSafe or Qi2 magnetic connection and can be used with existing cases.

By moving typing off the touchscreen, Power Keyboard frees up valuable screen space normally consumed by on-screen keyboards. Familiar keyboard shortcuts supported by iOS and Android carry over seamlessly, making it easier to launch apps, navigate interfaces, and respond quickly on the go.

Multiple slider positions allow the compact keyboard to adjust to different phone sizes, from standard models to large “Ultra” and “Pro Max” devices, while landscape rotation enables more comfortable editing of documents, spreadsheets, and emails.

One Keyboard for Tablets, TVs, and AR/VR

Power Keyboard is designed to work wherever text fields appear.

Paired with a tablet, it provides a practical typing solution without the bulk of a full-size keyboard, ideal for working on a plane, at a café, or in-class.

Connected to a smart TV, Power Keyboard replaces cumbersome on-screen keyboards and remotes, making tasks like entering passwords or searching for content fast and frustration-free.

In AR and VR environments, where virtual keyboards often limit productivity, Power Keyboard delivers tactile feedback that enables more confident input, helping immersive devices move beyond passive experiences toward more purposeful use.

A Premium Pocket Keyboard, With Power When You Need It

At its core, Clicks Power Keyboard is designed around input first.

It features ergonomically shaped keys with optimized key pressure, an intuitive QWERTY layout, directional keys, and a dedicated number row, making tasks like entering phone numbers or editing spreadsheets faster and more precise.

Power Keyboard also includes a built-in 2,150 mAh battery that powers the keyboard itself and can wirelessly top up a smartphone via MagSafe or Qi2 charging. This integrated battery ensures Power Keyboard is always ready when needed, while adding practical utility when connected to a smartphone.

Designed for Multi-Device Use

Clicks Power Keyboard can be paired with multiple devices at once and makes it easy to switch between Bluetooth profiles using a simple keyboard shortcut, allowing users to move effortlessly from phone to tablet to TV.

The keyboard can also be customized using the Clicks app, available on iOS and Android. The app enables personalization of settings such as key behavior, backlighting, and typing preferences.

Pricing and Availability

Clicks Power Keyboard pre-orders begin January 2, with availability expected in the spring.

  • Early-bird price: USD $79
  • MSRP: USD $109

Clicks Introduces Communicator

Posted in Commentary with tags on January 2, 2026 by itnerd

Clicks Technology today announced Clicks Communicator, a new kind of smartphone designed to complement today’s flagship devices by doing what they increasingly don’t: helping people communicate clearly, act quickly, and stay focused in a noisy digital world.

As smartphones have become larger, more powerful, and more content-driven, many people have begun carrying a second phone – for work, travel, privacy, or simply to create healthier boundaries with technology. Clicks Communicator is purpose-built for that growing two-phone lifestyle, prioritizing communication over consumption and action over distraction.

Rather than competing with flagship smartphones like iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, or Pixel, Communicator is designed to work alongside them, excelling at messaging, triage, and responsiveness while leaving content capture and entertainment to primary devices.

Clicks Communicator will be available in three finishes: Smoke, Clover and Onyx, and offer a variety of interchangeable back covers for personalization. Reservations begin Friday, January 2nd for USD $199, with availability beginning later this year.

Built for Doing, Not Doomscrolling

Modern smartphones are optimized for big screens, cameras, and infinite feeds. Clicks Communicator takes a different approach, focusing on three core principles: context, input, and control.

The result is a compact, tactile phone that helps users quickly understand what matters, respond efficiently, and take action in the moment, without waiting to get back to a desk or being pulled into distractions along the way.

Whether used as a second phone alongside a flagship device or as a primary phone for people who prioritize communication, Clicks Communicator is built for doing, not doomscrolling.

Context That Separates Signal From Noise

At the heart of Communicator is a new Signal light, designed to surface meaningful messages without demanding constant screen attention. The Signal can be customized with different colors and light patterns for specific people, groups, or apps, making it easy to distinguish priority communications at a glance.

Integrated into the phone’s side-mounted Prompt Key, the Signal remains visible whether Communicator is face up or face down, reinforcing its role as a glanceable, low-distraction companion.

Clicks has partnered with Niagara Launcher, an Android launcher with over 12 million downloads, to co-develop a streamlined software experience focused on triage and action. Messages from apps like Gmail, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Slack are curated directly on the home screen, allowing users to review and respond quickly without navigating multiple apps.

Input Designed for Modern Communication

Clicks Communicator builds on the award-winning Clicks Keyboard case, featuring a real keyboard with larger, ergonomically contoured keys for fast, confident typing.

The keyboard is also touch-sensitive, enabling smooth scrolling through messages, lists, and web pages without reaching for the touchscreen.

For voice-first communications, the dedicated Prompt Key starts speech input. Press and hold to dictate a message, release to send. Outside of text fields, the same key begins a voice recording.

Looking ahead, the Prompt Key is designed as a platform for future collaborations with AI-powered applications (including note takers, voice recorders, and intelligent agents) enabling new ways to capture, process, and act on information.

Compact, Purposeful Design

Measuring just 131.5 mm tall and weighing 170 grams, Clicks Communicator is designed to fit comfortably in a pocket while feeling balanced in hand.

Design details like an elevated display and contoured chin improve ergonomics while protecting the keyboard, while a sloped back cover with chamfered edges gives Communicator a distinctive profile. Interchangeable back covers allow users to personalize Communicator and complement their primary phone.

Control and Choice, Reintroduced

In contrast to increasingly minimal smartphones, Clicks Communicator leans into choice and physical control.

Features include:

  • A 3.5mm headphone jack
  • A tactile kill switch configurable for airplane mode, Signal light behavior, keyboard touch input, and more
  • Expandable microSD storage up to 2TB
  • Physical SIM tray and eSIM

Designed with user control in mind, Clicks Communicator also supports applications built on the Android Strongbox API, enabling secure storage and hardware-backed encryption.

A Fully Equipped Companion Phone

While purpose-built for communication, Clicks Communicator is fully equipped as a modern mobile phone, featuring:

  • Android 16 with 5 years of security updates
  • Global 5G, 4G LTE, and 3G/2G support, unlocked
  • 4,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery
  • 256GB onboard storage plus expandable microSD
  • 50MP main camera with OIS and 24MP front camera
  • NFC with Google Pay, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6
  • USB-C and wireless charging

Pricing and Availability

Clicks Communicator will be available in Smoke, Clover, and Onyx at a special launch price of USD $499. Purchase your reservation before February 27 to lock in early bird pricing and priority access:

Clicks Communicator is expected to begin shipping later this year.

Clicks Brings a Real Keyboard to iPhone

Posted in Commentary with tags on January 4, 2024 by itnerd

Clicks Technology is today unveiling the Clicks creator keyboard, a first of its kind accessory that extends the capabilities of iPhone. Clicks frees up screen real-estate previously consumed by a virtual keyboard, giving iPhone users more space for apps and content. Featuring a full keyboard with real buttons, Clicks offers users a tactile typing experience that enables new possibilities for creating on the go with speed and precision. Clicks also gives iPhone users more control of their phone with keyboard shortcuts and new dedicated keys that unlock the full power of iOS.

Clicks for iPhone can be ordered starting today, with availability beginning February 1.

A Tool for Creators, Built by Creators

Clicks is the first product from Clicks Technology, a new company founded by content creators and mobile keyboard experts Michael Fisher (known as MrMobile), and Kevin Michaluk (known as CrackBerry Kevin), together with a team with mobile experience from companies including Apple, BlackBerry, and Google.

Unlocking New Possibilities for iPhone

Combining the Clicks creator keyboard with iPhone brings the benefits of touch and typing together in a seamless experience.

Content first experiences. Today’s virtual keyboards occupy almost half the screen and obscure content. By moving the keyboard off the display when typing, Clicks nearly doubles the screen available for iPhone users to immerse themselves in apps and content.

Precision typing for on-the-go creation. Many iPhone users wait to get back to their desks to tackle tasks on a full keyboard. With real keys, typing feels natural allowing for mobile creation like writing long notes, editing documents, or taking action on ideas.

Tackling tasks with keyboard shortcuts. iPhone users gain access to powerful iOS keyboard shortcuts for the first time. Some examples include:

  • Press CMD + H to quickly navigate to your home screen
  • Use CMD + Space to launch Search
  • Scroll through web pages with space bar
  • Clicks supports keyboard shortcuts across many iOS and third party apps

Backlight for typing at night. A keyboard backlight makes it easy to type comfortably and confidently in low light conditions.

Goes on and comes off easy. The one-piece design is the first of its kind for an iPhone keyboard, fitting snugly, and offering a seamless extension of iPhone.

Nothing to charge. Clicks connects directly to iPhone through Lightning (iPhone 14 Pro) or USB-C (iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro Max), and allows users to charge their phone as normal. With this direct connection to iPhone, the keyboard has no battery to charge or Bluetooth connection.

Pricing and Availability

Clicks for iPhone is available to order beginning today for $139 (USD) at Clicks.tech and will begin shipping February 1. The Clicks app for iPhone, coming to Apple App Store, will continue to bring new functionality to the keyboard over time.
