Clicks Power Keyboard with MagSafe: What Is It and How It Works

Clicks officially launched the Clicks Power Keyboard in early January 2026. The announcement introduced a new MagSafe-based accessory aimed at faster, more confident typing on smartphones. It also marks a shift away from phone-specific keyboard cases toward a more modular design that works across MagSafe-compatible devices.

The Clicks Power Keyboard shows that you can enhance smartphone productivity without adding unnecessary bulk. This device snaps onto your phone and combines a slide-out QWERTY keyboard with a built-in 2,150mAh battery. This setup offers a tactile typing experience that feels intuitive.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how the Clicks Power Keyboard works - from its keyboard design and MagSafe integration to its battery performance and real-world usability. We’ll also share early impressions, market reception, and tips for getting the most from MagSafe cases when using this accessory.

The Clicks Power Keyboard is a physical QWERTY keyboard that snaps onto the back of your smartphone using MagSafe technology. Instead of enclosing your phone in a keyboard case, it attaches magnetically and slides out when you need to type.

This design makes it different from earlier keyboard accessories from Clicks. And because it connects via Bluetooth, the Power Keyboard works with any MagSafe-compatible smartphone.

Clicks is a hardware company focused on improving how people type on smartphones. It gained attention in 2024 with its keyboard cases, which brought back BlackBerry-style typing (but were designed for specific devices only).

On January 2, 2026, Clicks Technology officially announced the Clicks Power Keyboard, describing it as a compact keyboard designed to bring “fast, confident typing to smart devices.” 

This launch marks a shift toward a more future-proof approach. By using MagSafe and Bluetooth, Clicks addresses one of the biggest drawbacks of its earlier products - limited usefulness (especially with phone upgrades).

Clicks positions its accessories as tools for communication and productivity, aligning with a growing interest in enhancing mobile experiences.

Unlike traditional keyboard cases, the Clicks Power Keyboard is designed to stay out of the way - until you need it. It attaches magnetically, pairs wirelessly, and activates instantly when typing is required.

The keyboard features a familiar QWERTY layout with a dedicated number row and utility keys. The tactile buttons improve accuracy during long typing sessions.

When not in use, the keyboard slides back underneath the phone, keeping the device usable as a standard touchscreen phone.

MagSafe is the key to how the Clicks Power Keyboard functions, as strong magnetic alignment keeps the keyboard securely attached (while still allowing quick removal).

Using a thin MagSafe case is recommended to maintain optimal magnetic strength. You see, slim cases secure the MagSafe connection, while thicker cases may weaken the hold.

The power in the Clicks Power Keyboard comes from its 2,150mAh battery, which serves two purposes: powering the keyboard itself (including backlighting) and wirelessly charging the attached phone via MagSafe.

Charging is modest (up to 5W), so keep in mind that the keyboard only acts as a battery extender and not a full power bank. So it’s ideal for top-ups during travel or extended typing sessions.

Through the Clicks app, users can reserve a portion of the battery (500mAh by default) for keyboard operation. This ensures that the device stays functional even when the phone’s charge is low.

Also, connectivity is via Bluetooth, so it lets the keyboard pair with phones, tablets, and other devices. This wireless setup supports multiple iPhone models and compatible Android phones.

On-screen keyboards are fast (and practical) for short messages, but they have limitations. For one, they block a portion of the screen and can be frustrating during long typing sessions.

With the Clicks Power Keyboard, you’ll benefit from the following:

• Full-screen visibility while typing

• Improved typing accuracy

• Better control for documents and messaging

However, you may experience an adjustment period at first, especially if you’re new to physical phone keyboards. Still, many find the tactile experience more satisfying once muscle memory adapts.

Early reactions to the Clicks Power have been mixed, with much of the discussion happening on social platforms shortly after preorders opened.

On the positive side, many users highlight the accessory’s versatility and its throwback appeal. Tech creator Saurav Singh praised how much functionality Clicks packed into a single accessory:

Others point to cross-platform support and multi-device connectivity as standout features. Digital Adventures summed it up:

An Apple user even has this to say:

“Seems like a good idea since the keyboard on iPhone is so bad. It´s hard to write anything without it ending up in a total mess of letters.” - opinion

However, not all feedback has been glowing. Some users are concerned about the physical size and added weight. ArturWandzel left his comment on X:

These reactions show the trade-offs Clicks is making: adding tactile typing and battery capacity increases thickness. For users who prioritize productivity and physical keys, that compromise may be worthwhile. However, for minimalists, this could be a dealbreaker.

As preorders continue and real-world use comes out, sentiment around the Clicks Power Keyboard is likely to evolve. One thing is clear at this point - it has already succeeded in sparking conversation.

The Clicks Power Keyboard is currently available for preorder at an early-bird price of $79 (MSRP is $109). This makes it a good option for those curious about tactile typing without having to pay for the full retail cost.

Pre-orders opened on January 2, 2026, and Clicks expects the first shipments to arrive in Spring 2026.

The Clicks Power Keyboard isn’t designed for everyone. 

Casual users, voice-typing people, and minimalists may find the added weight unnecessary. But for writers and productivity-focused users, it offers a meaningful upgrade to mobile typing.

Pairing the keyboard with a thin phone case, like those designed by Thinborne, helps enhance MagSafe performance while keeping the setup as slim and practical as possible. A well-designed MagSafe case ensures strong attachment without compromising portability.
