The physical keyboard Clicks Case Technology, a newly launched company, has unveiled its latest innovation: an iPhone case with an integrated keyboard at the bottom. Aptly named “Clicks,” the case is priced at $139, and the iPhone 14 Pro case version is set to commence shipping on February 1st, with the 15 Pro version following in mid-March.
The company is also accepting reservations for the $159 iPhone 15 Pro Max model, expected to be available in early spring, as mentioned on their website. Whether these products are deemed reasonable purchases is a subjective decision based on personal considerations.
The team behind the clicks case comprises former employees from major tech companies, including Apple, BlackBerry, and Google, as highlighted in the company’s official announcement. According to the Clicks case, the physical keyboard was specifically designed with creators in mind. Michael Fisher, one of the founders, expressed his view that the shift away from hardware keys in smartphones seemed peculiar, especially considering that creators frequently use keyboards on their laptops and other devices.
Fisher emphasised that Clicks aims to bring the tactile feel and precision of a physical keyboard to the iPhone. The goal is to enable people to create and communicate with the satisfying feedback that only real buttons can provide, eliminating the need to wait until they are back at their desks for such experiences

The keyboard Clicks comes equipped with features commonly found on computer keyboards, such as a backlight and a CMD key. The inclusion of the CMD key is specifically designed to enable users to use iOS keyboard shortcuts. For instance, CMD + H can be used to navigate to the home screen, and CMD + the space key opens the search function. These are handy tips that might be new to some users

According to the company’s press release, the Clicks case addresses the issue of smartphone keyboards occupying significant screen real estate. By incorporating physical keys, the case aims to return that valuable space to users, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in apps and be contented by a handy CMD + H shortcut.
While the idea of immersion is appealing, there’s also the frustration of dealing with virtual keys on a phone that constantly attempt to autocorrect, even when the user hits each letter accurately. If you’ve longed for the return of a keyboard on the bottom of your smartphone, it appears that the keyboard has finally made a comeback, perhaps facilitated by a handy CMD + H shortcut.
