Clicks: A Real Keyboard For The iPhone!

  • Steve Jobs was right back in 2007: if smartphones were going to evolve, their physical QWERTY keyboards had to go. But there's a lot of convenience, reassurance, and even fun that comes with keys - and looking back after 17 years, it's possible that as a society, we threw the buttons out with the bathwater.
    So let’s change that. I’m Michael Fisher, and I co-founded a company that's bringing real buttons to the iPhone, with a Creator Keyboard inspired by some of my favorite phones of the past (that enhances one of the most popular phones of today). Introducing: Clicks for iPhone!
    [ABOUT THIS VIDEO]
    Michael Fisher is a co-founder of Clicks Technology, and as such has a financial interest in its success. That makes this video unique in the history of the MrMobile channel, as the manufacturer being covered is also the content creator producing the coverage!
    Nevertheless, the script for this hands-on was developed independently by Michael Fisher, with only limited input from the Clicks Technology team for legal oversight and fact-checking purposes. The opinions contained herein are entirely those of Michael Fisher.

      I think it would work better on the mini. I have a 15 pro max. I ordered early for the founder edition. I waited months and it arrived today. It is ridiculously huge and just not functional with the 15 pro max. It's just too awkward in size and balance. I think this would be perfect for the mini. I regret buying it for the 15 pro max.

    I would love to have this if it had a small trackpad button like Blackberry. It could be placed in the space button.

    I was working in a company owned AT&T store as a sales person when the very first iPhone was announced. I remember being *so excited* by the keynote. The one thing I was skeptical of was the keyboard. And then it launched and the frenzy was insane just like it is still today when a new one launches. And then, as I spent time with it, I realized i was right to be skeptical about the keyboard, especially in those early days. It has fotten better but even still, everything you said about "why do this?" are exactly the same things I have been griping about since all the way back then in 2007. I _still_ would rather have a physical keyboard even now and the BlackBerry Bold was my all time favorite keyboard. I got so good with that keyboard, I could send emails with my hands under a conference room table while in a meeting without anyone knowing. People who were avid T-Mobile Sidekick users will also attest to this. Physical keyboards are just better. People who have never used one are not going to understand this. But I, for one, cannot wait to see an Android version of this. I haven't owned an iPhone since I left AT&T in 2012. So, please _please_ hurry up and make the Android version of this.
    I even made some typos in this comment but I'm going to leave them. Those are mistakes i would not have made with a physical keyboard.
