Hey there, thanks for checking out Clicks!
We know you’re busy and there’s a lot of amazing tech out there for you to spend your time and energy on, so we’re truly grateful you’ve opened this guide up to learn a bit more about our first product. We’re excited for you to get your thumbs on it!
Clicks started out as an idea, but once we printed 3D models of the initial design concept and got into our hands… THAT WAS IT. It felt right, or rather, it just… clicked. From that moment the mission was on to bring it to the world.
We started Clicks Technology as a new tech company and assembled the DREAM TEAM of KEYBOARDS to bring Clicks for iPhone to life. Our teams are composed of the most talented keyboard-loving industrial designers, engineers and product specialists from around the globe… folks who have launched some of history’s most notable smartphones and devices at the biggest tech companies in the world.
So, while we're starting with one product, Clicks isn't planning to be a one-trick pony. We’re building a proper tech brand and have an ambitious roadmap that will be keeping us busy, and our customers delighted for years, and hopefully decades to come!
If you have any questions feel free to email press@clicks.tech!
In the meantime, Stay Mobile!

Right now we’re focused on building the best creator keyboard possible for iPhone. That’s not to say we won’t support Android smartphones in the future. The fragmented nature of the Android ecosystem does introduce some challenges, so for now we’re staying focused on making a great product iPhone users would love.
We are aiming to support additional keyboard layouts based on demand.
Yes. You can still charge your iPhone with Clicks with the Lightning or USB-C port at the bottom of the keyboard as you typically would. Clicks also works with many wireless charging solutions too.
No. Clicks does not contain a battery. We intentionally designed Clicks to connect directly to the iPhone via the Lightning or USB-C connector for an optimal user experience. This approach helps to reduce overall weight, avoids having to charge Clicks and ensures a better connection.
While other iPhones may fit inside Clicks for iPhone 14 Pro, we don’t recommend this approach. Given the custom moulded design, using Clicks on an iPhone other than the model it was intended for may result in blocking the speaker or microphone. Your best bet is to fill out this form and get notified when Clicks is available for your model.
Clicks is not a Made for MagSafe accessory. In our testing we have found that iPhone will still connect to many MagSafe wireless chargers. However, other MagSafe accessories may not work as expected. We are considering a Made for MagSafe version of Clicks in the future.
In everyday use we have not experienced any meaningful difference in battery life while using Clicks. When the iPhone is active and the keyboard is not in use there is very little demand on the battery. When typing on Clicks, a small amount of iPhone battery is used to power the LED keyboard backlight (if it has been enabled). The backlight turns on automatically as you start typing, and times out after 5 seconds when you stop.
With the keyboard backlight turned off battery usage will typically be less than ~2% - even on a heavy use day. If the keyboard backlight is on, usage may increase up to another ~2%.
Keyboard backlighting defaults can be set within the Clicks App and the backlight can be turned on/off directly from the keyboard with the CMD+🌐 shortcut.
No. Clicks pairs directly to your iPhone using the Lightning or USB-C connection built into the Clicks keyboard. This design creates an optimal user experience as no pairing process is required to connect your iPhone to Clicks, and it eliminates any latency issues.
Absolutely! But keep in mind, we optimize the keyboard for that perfect sounding click. So, if you’re on talking on speaker while typing on Clicks, the other person might hear you typing. A stealthy workaround in those situations is to press the %+= button and type silently on the on-screen keyboard.
