Clicks’ Power Keyboard brings BlackBerry-style typing to any phone — with some compromises
↗
Clicks introduced a $99 slide-out Bluetooth keyboard that magnetically attaches to MagSafe or Qi2-compatible phones, delivering a physical typing surface with its own battery but adding noticeable bulk.
Developers may need to account for hardware keyboard input and custom key mappings when their apps run on devices equipped with this accessory. The keyboard’s built-in battery can also be allocated to wirelessly charge the phone, affecting overall power budgeting. Its weight and size can change how users hold and carry their phones, which may influence UI ergonomics and case designs.

The Power Keyboard connects magnetically via MagSafe or Qi2, slides out a tactile keyboard, and includes a 2,150 mAh internal battery.
At roughly 180 g and 15 mm thick, it makes larger phones feel top-heavy and can be awkward to fit in pockets.
Bluetooth pairing requires a specific key combination and device removal must be done through the Clicks app, deviating from standard Bluetooth workflows.
