Clicks Technology has released the Clicks Power Keyboard, a Bluetooth accessory that adds a physical keyboard and wireless charging to smartphones [1].
The device targets users who find touchscreen typing slow or awkward by combining tactile input with a power bank [1, 3]. This hybrid approach attempts to revive the productivity of legacy handhelds while maintaining the capabilities of modern smartphones.
Announced Jan. 2, 2026, in London, the accessory features a slide-out layout reminiscent of BlackBerry devices [1, 5]. It attaches to phones using Qi or MagSafe technology and includes a built-in 2,300 mAh wireless charger [4, 7].
Clicks Technology said the device is designed to bring "fast, confident typing to smart devices plagued by slow, awkward" input methods [1]. The keyboard is intended to provide a more versatile experience for users who frequently type long messages or documents on the go [3].
Pricing for the device varies by region and source. Some reports list the price at $79 in the U.S., £60 in the U.K., and AU$120 in Australia [2]. However, other reports, including a CNET unboxing, list the price at $120 [7].
While the hardware offers a physical typing solution, some critics have noted that the accessory comes with "some notable drawbacks" [1]. These concerns typically center on the added bulk of the device compared to standard phone cases [1].
“The Clicks Power Keyboard gives your phone a powerful, customizable physical keyboard”
The Clicks Power Keyboard represents a niche attempt to merge the productivity of 2000s-era enterprise phones with modern hardware. By integrating a battery, Clicks Technology is attempting to offset the primary deterrent of physical keyboard cases—increased bulk—by adding a secondary utility that makes the extra weight justifiable for the consumer.
