One of the biggest advantages of Android devices is the way you can customize them to make them feel just right for the way you want to use your phone. But when it comes to customizing the way we type on these devices, there just hasn't been much innovation. We can pull up some different versions of a digital keyboard, but that's it.
Clicks Power Keyboard changes the typing experience completely on Android, resulting in fewer typos, freeing up screen space, and giving you a new way to control your smartphone (and smart home).
If you've been curious about the latest keyboard accessory from Clicks, let's dive into some of the reasons why you might want to make this part of your everyday carry.
Universal Compatibility
The Power Keyboard was designed to work with your Android right out of the box. If you've heard Apple users talk about MagSafe (the magnetic connection to attach different accessories to your phone) Qi2 is the latest version of this you'll find on Android phones.
- The Magnetic Connection: It attaches using strong MagSafe or Qi2 magnetic connections. If your phone supports Qi wireless charging but lacks magnets, you can simply use a magnetic-compatible case to achieve a secure fit.
- Three Slider Positions: Our hardware team engineered a triple-position slider to ensure a perfect fit:
- Standard: For base models like the Pixel 10 or Galaxy S25.
- Extended: For "Ultra" and "Pro Max" sized phones.
- Landscape: Rotates to support document and spreadsheet editing in a wider view.
- Case Compatible: There's no need to strip your phone bare; Power Keyboard is designed to work with your existing cases.
Why Buttons? Reclaiming the Mobile Experience
The shift from physical keys to glass was meant to give us more, but in many ways, it gave us less. Here is why we brought buttons back to the forefront:
Tactile Feedback
There is a fundamental satisfaction in the click of a physical key. Clicks features ergonomically shaped keys with optimized pressure, providing a "flow state" typing experience that glass simply cannot replicate.
Mobile Productivity
You shouldn't have to wait to get back to a desk to send a thoughtful email or edit a spreadsheet. Real keys allow you to act with confidence in the moment.
Screen Real Estate
On-screen keyboards can consume up to 50% of your display. By moving typing to a physical keyboard, you finally see your entire chat thread, document, or feed while you work.
Android Shortcuts
Power Keyboard supports the familiar shortcuts you use on a PC. You can launch apps, navigate system interfaces, and manage text without ever lifting your thumbs to touch the screen.
Setting Up The Clicks Power Keyboard
The Clicks Power Keyboard connects via Bluetooth (BLE 5.4). This eliminates the need for physical port alignment, making it compatible with everything from standard Galaxy models to Folding Pixel smartphones. To set up your Power Keyboard:
To set up your Power Keyboard:
- Snap it on: Align the keyboard with the magnets on the back of your phone.
- Pairing Mode: When you power on the keyboard for the first time it will automatically enter pairing mode.
- Pick a number Pair your device in one of the three available slots by pressing 1, 2, or 3.
- Connect: Select "Clicks Power Keyboard" in your phone's Bluetooth settings.
- Customize: Open the Clicks App to adjust backlighting, key behavior, and how much of the internal 2,150 mAh battery is reserved for typing versus wirelessly topping up your phone.
If you're pairing additional devices or want to overwrite a device the steps are very similar. To reactivate pairing mode just hold the 123 key and press zero. Then you'll press the power button and select 1, 2, or 3 to add your new/next device to whichever channel you like.
How It Works
Getting started with Power Keyboard is seamless, leveraging Bluetooth for a wireless connection that persists even if the keyboard isn't physically attached to your phone.
- Backlit Precision: Type confidently in any environment with adjustable keyboard backlighting.
- Dedicated Number Row: We included a dedicated row for numbers, making it significantly faster to enter phone numbers or data into spreadsheets.
- The Clicks App: Available on the Play Store, the Clicks app allows you to customize key behavior, manage power settings, and update firmware.
- System Navigation: Use common Android shortcuts like Ctrl + C (Copy), Ctrl + V (Paste), or Search to move through your phone with lightning speed.
2-in-1 Benefit
The Power Keyboard is a multi-purpose tool designed for the modern ecosystem.
A Premium Slider
Designed as a compact, slide-out keyboard, it offers a consistent typing experience in a pocketable form factor. Whether you are shooting off a quick Slack message or settling in for long-form writing, the slider adapts to your needs.
Wireless Power on Demand
We know that high productivity demands high energy. Power Keyboard includes a built-in 2,150 mAh battery. While it powers the keyboard itself, it also acts as a wireless power bank, "topping up" your Android phone via MagSafe or Qi2 charging.
Versatility Beyond the Phone
While the Power Keyboard is an incredible phone companion, the perks of keeping this in your pocket don't end there. It's a universal tool for any smart screen:
- Tablets: Pair it with your tablet for a lightweight typing solution that beats the bulk of a full-size keyboard case.
- Smart TVs: Stop struggling with clunky remotes; use Power Keyboard to type in passwords and search for content on your TV.
- AR/VR & Gaming: In immersive environments where virtual keyboards are frustrating, Power Keyboard provides the tactile feedback needed for purposeful interaction.
You can even pair it with up to three devices simultaneously, switching between your phone, tablet, and TV with a simple keyboard shortcut. For it's versatility across devices and the way it unlocks the potential of your Android Phone, we think the Clicks Power Keyboard will be a gadget you'll be using every day.
