The Power Keyboard features a sliding mechanism that allows it to adapt to various smartphone sizes, functioning in both portrait and landscape orientations. It connects via Bluetooth and attaches magnetically, making it versatile for different devices. Users can also wirelessly charge compatible gadgets using its built-in 2,150 mAh battery, which can be reserved solely for the keyboard if desired.6
Despite its advantages, the keyboard has faced criticism for making larger smartphones feel top-heavy, particularly models like the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Pixel 10 XL. The company acknowledges this issue, noting that the keyboard is best suited for lighter devices or landscape use.
The unboxing experience is premium, featuring protective films and a full-color quick-start guide. The keyboard also includes customizable LED backlighting and compatibility with Apple Shortcuts for quick actions.7
This product serves as a precursor to the upcoming Clicks Communicator smartphone, which will feature a built-in physical keyboard, expected to launch later this year.
“The Power Keyboard packs a 2,150 mAh battery, enabling wireless charging for MagSafe and Qi2 devices, a feature absent from Clicks' earlier keyboard case. It also serves as a teaser for the upcoming Clicks Communicator smartphone, which is expected to ship later this year.”
