Clicks keyboard comes to Android to give your Galaxy, Pixel, or Moto that BlackBerry look

Two stylish Motorola phones on a dark surface: a yellow smartphone with a colorful display and a blue, keyboard-equipped model beside it. Both phones have Clicks hardware keyboards attached, and the keyboards form part of a case that wraps around the phone's own shapes.

“Remember Clicks? The iPhone keyboard accessory that can help you relive the early 2000s Blackberry charm? Yep, the slab-like case that gives you access to a physical QWERTY keyboard on your latest iOS device. Upon the accessory’s initial launch, it was only available for the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, it soon expanded to the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and the iPhone 16 series. Now, a little over a year later, Clicks has its sights set on the Android market.”

It looks like it will be coming out for the Motorola Razr (2024), Motorola Razr+ (2024), Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy S25.

I suppose a challenge with Android for physical devices, whether camera lenses, lights, keyboards, etc, is that there is no “standard Android size/shape”.

But still, for many this might be quite welcome (or have today’s users all got over losing their physical keyboards?). Initially, I was a bit frustrated when I had glitches or stutters with early on-screen keyboards, where the physical keyboards always just worked. But I have to say that was a long time ago. Today’s on-screen keyboards are pretty smooth and fast, and of course will also apart their layout, theming, and lots more.

That said, these Clicks keyboards do add a quite funky and quirky splash of colour to the phones, and look like they will also be quite good protectors for the phones themselves.
