Cheap feeling app with poor English
This review only covers the app, not the keyboard. The app is pretty clunky and it seems a lot of buttons either don’t respond the first time or take a few seconds to give feedback. The update firmware immediately shows “Firmware Failed” when you click on it, giving me great confidence the app will actually update my keyboard when the time comes. There’s also a lot of broken English in the app too. Things like “Your’ve closed the app” and “update is failed” have me questioning how much time was put into this app. Overall a mediocre experience for such an expensive keyboard.

Delay when typing - iPhone 16 pro
Unusable on my iPhone 16 pro as there is a delay in typing such that you need to hold each key for about 1/2 to 1 second before it registers.
Returning, unfortunately.

Beware
The newest Firmware update bricked my Clicks keyboard for the 14 Pro Max model. They sent a replacement and the update produced the exact same result. Current owner of two useless Clicks products and customer service hasn’t responded to me in 7 days. Guess they decided to go FULL Blackberry experience.

Bad instructions
Don’t understand why options are grayed out.
Add option to play sound when typing and touch
I believe it would be fantastic if you could incorporate sound effects when typing on the keyboard. I recall that in the past, all the old phones had a sound or vibration when pressing the keys. It would be amazing if they could replicate that feature in this keyboard as well. Additionally, if you could add touch sensitivity to the keyboard, it would be convenient to scroll through the content directly from the keyboard instead of the screen. I believe that one of the last BlackBerry phones had this option.

Buy It.
I’ve had the keyboard for a month now and i absolutely love it, i wish the app would help you better understand shortcuts though.
App refuses to work
I install the app. Open it and sign into my Apple ID account. Set up my parameters - all good! Minutes later the companion app doesn’t recognize the device. I have to constantly pull my iPhone 15 Pro out from the Clicks keyboard and insert it again. App works for a few minutes, same thing. Over and over again . . . Frustrating!

Response from developer
Hello, Could you share your firmware version? It's in the 3rd tab. Please also check the Idle Timeout in Enable Battery Saving UI.
Thank you Clicks!
Sooo good! Love the new features to the app including cursor mode.
Needs an option to keep the back light on all the time
The timeout time is too short and needs an option to keep on all the time
Keys require too much force to press!
I had a blackberry when I was a kid so I know how easy it can be to press on the keys. 1 minute after starting to use the clicks keyboard I started getting nerve pains in my wrist. haven’t had nerve pain while typing in many many years except for when I was using the non-ergonomic keyboard of my desktop too much. for $200 it would be good to have a mini trackball. Also, the keyboard is too long, the width should be shrunken somehow. On my iPhone 15 Pro Max, the addition of the keyboard makes the phone annoyingly long. i’m still gonna keep it because it gives me extra screen space even though I get lots of screen space using my Samsung Z fold6. Voice typing function isn’t working when writing this review. full stop punctuation should be more easily accessible. i have tiny hands so the 123 is too far to reach with my thumb. still severely shocked at how hard it is to type; it makes my phone almost fall out of my hands. if you didn’t have repetitive stress injury before, you will now probably…the fact that cmd plus any other command has to be pressed at the same time is aggravating. why can’t commands keys be pressed in succession? one thing that would help a lot in typing without looking at the keyboard is some raised keys where you can feel the cmd key by touch etc. sigh, this is my 1st day using clicks & after i chose ‘power savin’ the keyboard permanently disconnected. One thing I’m a bit surprised about is how hard it is to push the phone buttons with the clicks case on; my mous phone case didn’t require that much effort & it’s the hard clear case. EDIT: back of keyboard case is too slippery but sides have some grip; back needs more grip. EDIT 2: not being compatible with at least official apple magsafe accessories is a big deal breaker i only charge wirelessly but still will keep clicks for now. EDIT 3: the clicks’s usbc port doesn’t let you plug in offical apple charger wires “securely”. the port doesn’t feel like other usbc ports; so i kept pushing the charger in the port thinking it wasn’t secure. also, my iphone 15 pro max keeps making a sound every few seconds as it’s charging. this is my 1st time charging this phone with a wire so maybe it’s normal. EDIT 4: be warned: clicks refuses to charge with official charging cable that came with my ipad pro. but charges with a samsung charger wire! the reason it was beeping before is because it wasn’t charging at all.
