Clicks Power Keyboard Review: Tactile Typing With Magnetic Attachment and Trade-Offs Noted

Manila, October 2, 2026

The Clicks Power Keyboard, a magnetically attachable Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in power bank, has been reviewed by PCMag UK. This innovative device promises to bring back the tactile typing experience of legacy BlackBerry phones, while incorporating modern features for today’s smartphone users. Priced at $119, the Clicks Power Keyboard measures 4.71 by 3.02 by 0.62 inches and weighs 6.35 ounces.

It features a dedicated number row, programmable one-press shortcuts, and a sharp, clicky key action reminiscent of BlackBerry devices. The keyboard can attach magnetically to devices via MagSafe or Qi2 compatibility. It supports broad compatibility across phones, tablets, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra when used with a magnetic case.

The device slides into five incremental magnetic positions when attached to a device, exposing the keys below the phone’s bottom edge in a riser-style design. However, the magnetic attachment provides a strong grip during typing, but the reviewer noted that the device is hard to balance in hand when attached to a phone and requires practice for users accustomed to touchscreen typing. The built-in battery offers limited extra power capacity, and the device lacks sufficient counterweight for optimal ergonomics when used with a phone.

The reviewer found it more practical when paired with an iPad Air, where its compact size aids portability. The Clicks Power Keyboard is an evolution of the earlier Clicks Keyboard, which was a model-specific phone case requiring customization for devices like the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max and lacked Android support. The new version replaces fixed connectors with magnetic mounting and Bluetooth 5.4 to enable universal compatibility.

Senior writer Kimberly Gedeon tested the Clicks Power Keyboard for a week. She concluded that while it satisfies nostalgic demand for physical keys, its usability trade-offs make it unsuitable for most users, though it may appeal to former BlackBerry enthusiasts seeking a modern retro typing experience. As we move forward, it will be interesting to see how the Clicks Power Keyboard evolves to meet the needs of its target audience.

For communities across Asia who are avid smartphone users, this device offers a unique blend of modern technology and nostalgia. As we continue to innovate and adapt to the ever-changing digital landscape, it’s clear that devices like the Clicks Power Keyboard will play a crucial role in shaping our future.
