I'm really fond of this iPhone keyboard, and it's now finally accessible for Android.

      Do you recall the BlackBerry era? The accuracy of our typing, the plethora of keyboard shortcuts, and the gratifying haptic feedback from pressing a key and watching the text appear on the screen?

      Even if the memories are faint, you might have noticed that you type significantly better on a computer than on your phone, particularly when using one of the best compact phones. In January, a new startup from London — comprising some recognizable figures — unveiled a new iPhone accessory that reintroduced physical buttons.

      Previously exclusive to iPhone 15 and iPhone 16, Clicks is now making its debut on Android, and I couldn't be more thrilled. It will be compatible with smaller devices in Samsung and Google’s ranges, but it’s best utilized with a folding flip phone.

      I've had the opportunity to use Clicks extensively over the past year, and I'm eager to share my thoughts on its much-anticipated launch on Android, along with the key devices it supports. First, let’s take a closer look at Clicks for Android with insights from Michael Fisher.

      Why I enjoy using Clicks for iPhone

      I’m a fan of smaller phones, but the main challenge is how much space the on-screen keyboard occupies. On a daily basis, I use an iPhone 16 Pro, which has a 6.3-inch display that's much easier to handle compared to the larger 6.9-inch screen of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Despite the latter providing more screen space, the smaller size of the former makes it more comfortable for everyday use.

      The problem arises when I'm composing a lengthy email or document — something I do often — and I can't view the entire message with the on-screen keyboard open. Clicks offered a solution that I didn't even realize I needed, and now it's an essential part of my carry bag.

      The initial version of Clicks was a solid first effort, but the model designed for the iPhone 16 has enhanced the experience significantly. The angled edges on the keys make typing much more comfortable and precise. With integrated MagSafe, it’s compatible with my bedside chargers and Standby mode on the iPhone.

      Then there are keyboard shortcuts, which make this accessory truly valuable. There are times throughout the day when I need to be exceptionally focused and productive, and Clicks allows me to create and execute over 100 different keyboard shortcuts to streamline tasks. It's backlit, making it suitable for journaling while lying in bed.

      I’m not the only one who appreciates Clicks for iPhone. Our experienced reviewer Andy Boxall has noted that it's not just for former BlackBerry users or those accustomed to physical keyboards; rather, Clicks for the iPhone 16 should be considered by anyone looking to boost their productivity.

      Clicks is now available on Android

      Since Clicks was launched, I’ve been anticipating the release of versions compatible with Android devices. I carry two phones daily, and there are numerous occasions when I prefer using an Android phone over my iPhone.

      In particular, it benefits a specific form factor: folding flip phones. Clicks is debuting with support for last year’s Motorola Razr+, and it looks fantastic. I got a brief glimpse of it under embargo at CES 2025, and it pairs perfectly with the Moto Razr.

      I’m a fan of the Moto Razr+ 2024, mainly because its front screen functions like a compact phone, although the small Cover Display is a challenge for typing. Clicks addresses this issue, and I’m already eager to purchase one. The Razr is my preferred flip phone, and Clicks will enhance its usability substantially.

      Clicks will also support the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Galaxy S25. There’s no support for the larger Galaxy S25 Plus, Galaxy S25 Ultra, or Pixel 9 Pro XL, which isn’t surprising given their size. I already struggle with a case on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, so I can’t imagine adding the bulk of a keyboard.

      It’s not unexpected that Android support has been added just a year after the initial release, along with compatibility for several top phones. Two of the co-founders are well-known figures in the tech industry: Kevin Michaluk, known as CrackBerry Kevin, and Michael Fisher, also referred to as Captain2Phones and MrMobile. Clicks for the Razr+, in particular, addresses a need not only for users but also for Michael, who uses a Razr+ as one of his primary devices.

      Clicks for Android pricing and availability

      When I first previewed an early version of Clicks for Android, I was ready to make a purchase immediately. The Cover Screen on the Moto Razr+ is an absolute pleasure to use, but now there's just one essential issue that Clicks resolves.

      For Galaxy S25, Pixel 9, or Pixel 9 Pro users, this is an excellent way to free up space
