WHAT HAPPENED
Clicks has announced its new $99 Power Keyboard, a slide‑out physical keyboard that attaches to MagSafe and Qi2‑enabled smartphones, delivering BlackBerry‑style typing to any phone. The accessory adds a tactile experience but also increases the device’s heft, which could make larger phones awkward to hold.
According to TechCrunch, the keyboard is fully customizable, allowing users to re‑arrange key layouts and choose different keycap finishes. It attaches via magnetic connectors, slides out from the phone’s side and returns to a compact form factor. The product’s launch price is set at $99, positioning it competitively against other external keyboards. Reviewers note that the added weight and bulk can be a drawback for users of larger phablets. Related coverage from The Guardian focuses on sports and energy policy and does not provide additional information about the keyboard.
Physical keyboards have seen a resurgence among power users who value precision typing, but most modern smartphones rely solely on touchscreens.
