Unleashing the Power of the Pixel 10 Pro with the Clicks Power Keyboard: A Hands-On Review

Clicks is dedicated to reintroducing keyboards to smartphones, offering users the convenience of a physical QWERTY keyboard without sacrificing screen space. The inspiration behind Clicks is the iconic BlackBerry experience, a vision championed by Michael Fisher (MrMobile on YouTube) and Kevin Michaluk (CrackBerry Kevin).

While the initial product, a keyboard case, left me underwhelmed due to its elongated design, the Power Keyboard presented a different story.

Having experienced the Clicks Power Keyboard at CES 2026, I am convinced that this accessory is a necessity for my Pixel 10 Pro.

A design that just makes sense

The Clicks Power Keyboard combines various features seamlessly. It features a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard that can be tucked away when not in use, connecting via Bluetooth.

Moreover, it utilizes magnets, such as MagSafe or Qi2, to attach to the back of your phone, making it compatible with recent iPhone models (iPhone 12 onwards) and Android phones with Qi2 support, including the Pixel 10 series and HMD Skyline.

The keyboard houses a 2150mAh battery, capable of charging your phone through 5W Qi wireless charging when connected, while featuring a separate battery to power the keyboard.

A joy to use

With almost two decades of experience reviewing phones, my familiarity with BlackBerry devices runs deep. From T9 keyboards to full QWERTY layouts, I’ve experienced it all. There’s a nostalgic yet practical quality to the BlackBerry typing experience that resonates with me. The Clicks Power Keyboard captures this essence, thanks to Joseph Hofer, former lead designer at BlackBerry, who now lends his expertise to Clicks.

The Clicks Power Keyboard boasts a satisfying slide action, seamlessly transitioning into typing mode and maximizing screen real estate. This feature is especially beneficial for power users who frequently type on the go.

For working on the move, it’s a productivity dream

As someone accustomed to working while on the move, I’ve realized the limitations of mobile keyboards for extensive typing tasks. Clicks addresses this issue by enabling efficient typing in compact spaces, ideal for scenarios like commuting on a train.

By equipping both thumbs to engage in typing while leveraging the ample screen space of the Pixel 10 Pro’s 6.3-inch display, Clicks enhances the productivity of mobile users. The keyboard can be conveniently stowed away when not in use or detached for easy portability.

It’s impressively versatile

Thanks to its magnetic connection, the Clicks Power Keyboard offers both portrait and landscape orientations for enhanced flexibility, catering to users working with wide documents or spreadsheets.

Surprisingly, the Clicks Power Keyboard is priced at £60/$79 during the introductory period. For enthusiasts of the BlackBerry era seeking to enhance their modern smartphone experience with a robust keyboard, this accessory offers an affordable yet substantial upgrade.

Pre-orders are currently available on the Clicks website, with shipping slated to commence in the spring. I am thoroughly impressed and have already placed my pre-order.
