Clicks is set to showcase a BlackBerry-like phone along with a pocket keyboard at CES 2026.
Clicks is preparing for CES 2026 with two innovative products aimed at transforming the way people engage with their devices. Renowned for its QWERTY phone keyboard accessories, the company has introduced a fully functional phone called the Communicator and a new Power Keyboard accessory that also serves as a compact power bank.
These products highlight the relevance of physical input and specialized hardware in today's touchscreen-centric environment. As CES 2026 approaches, Clicks believes there remains a significant audience seeking devices that facilitate communication while reducing the need for excessive scrolling.
Clicks Communicator: Designed for Meaningful Conversations
The Clicks Communicator is tailored for messaging, prompt replies, and focused interactions, steering clear of endless swiping and feeds. Operating on Android 16, it features its own 5G connectivity, a lightweight design, a 4,000 mAh battery, and an integrated physical QWERTY keyboard, reminiscent of classic BlackBerry devices.
Clicks has incorporated thoughtful features for those wishing to minimize distractions without sacrificing functionality. Among its offerings are a physical mute switch, a standard headphone jack, and expandable microSD storage.
Additionally, it includes a customizable LED notification key that can illuminate in various colors for specific contacts or applications, along with a straightforward, minimalist launcher that emphasizes messages and notifications over social media tabs. This launcher is crafted to help users focus on what truly matters without getting lost in distractions.
The Clicks Communicator is priced around $499, with early reservations available starting at $199, reducing the eventual cost to $399. The device is set to launch later in 2026 and will be offered in three colors: Clover Green, Smoke White, and Onyx Black.
Clicks Power Keyboard: Reviving Physical Typing for All Your Screens
For those seeking a more purposeful device experience, the Clicks Power Keyboard aims to restore physical typing across various screens. Unlike a case for a single phone, this keyboard is a magnetic accessory that attaches using MagSafe or Qi2, fitting comfortably in hand like traditional keyboards, and connects via Bluetooth.
It features a complete QWERTY layout with tactile keys, enhancing the ease of writing long messages, emails, or browsing compared to tapping on glass alone. The Power Keyboard also contains a built-in 2,150 mAh battery that can function as a backup charger for your phone.
While it may not be as powerful as dedicated power banks, it provides enough extra charge to extend usage time and keep the keyboard functional via Bluetooth without depleting the phone's main battery. Furthermore, it can be positioned in landscape mode for use with tablets, laptops, or smart TVs, offering quick input on larger screens.
Preorders for the Power Keyboard are currently available at a discounted price of $79, which will increase to $109 at launch. The accessory is expected to ship in spring 2026, giving enthusiasts of tactile typing something to anticipate beyond just phone screens.
Collectively, Clicks’ Communicator and Power Keyboard seem to consciously harken back to an era when physical keys were essential. Rather than merely catering to nostalgia, these products aim to address genuine frustrations that users encounter with touchscreens and the barrage of notifications.
As CES 2026 approaches, coverage is already spotlighting the most significant announcements expected at the event and making forecasts on how technology may evolve in 2026.
