Comment on QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year

I’ve bought the Clicks keyboard for my iPhone 16 but was unhappy with it being a huge brick while in that case. And the effort to swap cases often keeps me from using it.
Looks like they’ve heard my prayers because they’re now releasing a MagSafe+Bluetooth slider keyboard - which also brings a small power boost. I hope this is going to be as good as it sounds.

form-factor dislikes aside, would you say the function and feedback of the keyboard was good? I’m on the pre-order list for the Bluetooth keyboard you mentioned, and I’m so hopeful that it makes the subtle difference I hope for it.

While I would have preferred the BlackBerry Classic style of keyboard because I think it looks cooler, I must admit I didn’t have any issues with the keys, their clickiness or finding them blindly. The keyboard types really awesome.
My main issue is the muscle memory from my BlackBerry days which had the Shift key at the bottom where the Clicks has the 123 key. But that’s getting better the more often I use the Clicks.

thanks for sharing! I’m excited to try it out! I (thankfully) don’t have Blackberry keyboard experience to compare it to. I do wonder if the size and shape and fit will jive enough or possibly feel too clunky or awkward. we shall see!
