Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “What’s old is new again. Clicks case brings QWERTY to your iPhone.”.
If you find yourself longing for the days of a physical keyboard on your phone, it turns out you’re not alone. Now that we’re into 2024, it seems like what is old is New Again new at CES 2024, some tech journalism regulars and an iPhone accessories company have teamed up to bring the physical keyboard back to the latest and greatest from Apple we’re talking about clicks and their New Creator keyboard clicks introduced its keyboard as a way to bring all of those tactile buttons. You used to remember and love and combine them with all of the new keyboard shortcuts that Apple developed for iPad OS. So far, clicks comes in two colors Bumblebee and London sky, with the lad being a mix of like dark gray and black, with the former being obviously yellow and black, like a bumblebee right now. The clicks keyboard is only available for the latest and greatest from Apple and specifically the pro models. That means you’ll be able to pick it up for the iPhone 14 pro and pro Max and the iPhone 15 pro and pro Max. It turns out that the clicks team didn’t have to do that, much programming to get their keyboard up and running.
It connects your iPhone using the port in the bottom, whether it’s the lightning port or the newer USBC version, meaning that it doesn’t have to pack a battery inside. It doesn’t have to connect via Bluetooth, and it simply takes over where your on-screen keyboard previously would have been opening up a little bit of extra screen real estate to make things a little easier. The clicks Creator keyboard uses all of the pre-existing keyboard shortcuts that Apple put together for iPad OS, which actually means that the clicks team itself is still discovering ways to interact with different apps and jump through shortcuts. Of course, as a case, your probably worried about a how the clicks Creator keyboard feels on your iPhone and B how much protection it actually offers.
It is one of the thinner, iPhone cases we’ve seen recently, but it does feel secure and fits tightly to your phone. You just kind of have to be careful with the fact that your new center of gravity sits a little higher due to the extra real estate on the bottom of your phone. The clicks Creator keyboard will be available in the coming weeks for a price of $ 139, whether you’re going for the smaller Pro size or the larger Pro Max size we’ll be sure to get our hands on a clicks Creator keyboard in the future.
