The Clicks Keyboard for iPhone has returned, and it’s truly making waves—figuratively speaking. After a hands-on experience with the latest version, it’s evident that Clicks has taken significant strides forward. With enhancements in ergonomics and additional features, here’s a breakdown of my initial impressions of their second-generation product.
Last year, I had the opportunity to explore the first generation of the Clicks Keyboard designed for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I found the experience quite enjoyable. However, there were a few aspects that could have improved the overall usability. With the release of the second generation, Clicks has actively responded to user feedback, making substantial improvements across nearly all critical areas:
So, what is it like to actually use this keyboard? The new Clicks Keyboard tailored for the iPhone 16 Pro models delivers significant improvements concerning both feel and functionality. The redesigned keys are notably more comfortable and responsive, enhancing the typing experience immensely. The keys feature a contoured design, fitting snugly under your fingers and providing a satisfying tactile response with each click. Clicks reports the keys have been enlarged by 9% compared to last year’s model, reducing accidental presses while the ergonomic redesign makes typing more intuitive. For fans of tactile feedback, Clicks has certainly succeeded.
A notable aspect of the design is its well-balanced construction. Even as a physical attachment, it doesn’t add excessive weight to the iPhone, maintaining a comfortable fit without tilting or dragging down your device. The keyboard layout allows for unobstructed screen visibility, enhancing content engagement—be it for streaming videos, browsing social media, or managing documents without the hindrance of a virtual keyboard.
However, it’s essential to note that the Clicks Keyboard can be somewhat bulky. This attribute may not suit everybody, but for those who are inclined towards physical keyboards, this is a solid option. I adapted to its size surprisingly fast, even with the larger iPhone 16 Pro Max, comfortably fitting into my pockets. If tactile keys and a comprehensive screen view appeal to you, this keyboard is a satisfying choice. Its enhanced typing experience, coupled with full interaction capabilities on your iPhone, justifies the additional heft.
You can now pre-order the Clicks Keyboard for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, with deliveries commencing in early November. The price is set at $139 USD for the Pro model and $159 for the Pro Max version.
The keyboard can be acquired directly from the Clicks website, certain Best Buy stores across the U.S. and Canada, and online via BestBuy.com. Three colors—Surf, Spice, and Onyx—offer a touch of personalization to this high-end accessory. The Onyx color will be shipped by October 28, while the others will be available in the first week of November.
