A New Era for Android Typing
For those of us who have long lamented the loss of the physical keyboard in the modern smartphone era, the landscape is finally shifting. Clicks, the company that made waves by bringing tactile, clicky buttons back to the iPhone, has officially expanded its ecosystem to include Android devices. This move marks a significant milestone for mobile enthusiasts who crave the precision and feedback that only a physical QWERTY layout can provide.
The expansion covers a diverse range of hardware, catering to different styles of Android users. Owners of the Google Pixel 9 and 9 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy S25, and the Motorola Razr series—including the Razr+ and 2025 models—can now equip their devices with these specialized cases. Each model is custom-molded to ensure a perfect fit, maintaining the sleek profile of the phone while adding the utility of a full keyboard.
The Clicks keyboard isn't just about nostalgia; it's about reclaiming screen real estate and enhancing productivity through dedicated shortcuts and tactile feedback.
The design philosophy remains consistent with the original iPhone version: metal dome switches for that satisfying "click," backlit keys for low-light typing, and a companion app that allows users to customize their keyboard shortcuts. Whether you are a power user navigating terminal emulators or simply someone who prefers the tactile certainty of physical buttons over a glass slab, these cases offer a compelling bridge between modern smartphone performance and classic input methods.
While these cases are a fantastic way to upgrade a standard smartphone, they serve as a reminder of why we hold onto our love for dedicated QWERTY devices. Unlike a case, a purpose-built keyboard phone—like the upcoming Clicks Communicator—integrates the hardware directly into the device's architecture, often allowing for a more balanced weight distribution and a more cohesive software experience. However, for those not ready to switch to a niche device, these Clicks cases provide the best of both worlds: the latest Android software and the tactile joy of a real keyboard.
