UK-BASED mobile device outfit Ckicks Technology Ltd along with its official regional distributor, Swap Asia, have unveiled Clicks – a first-of-its-kind keyboard accessory for iPhone that extends its capabilities – in the region.
Clicks frees up screen real estate previously consumed by a virtual keyboard, hence giving iPhone users more space for apps and content.
Featuring a full keyboard with real buttons, Clicks offers users a tactile typing experience that enables new possibilities for creating on the go with speed and precision. Clicks also gives iPhone users more control of their phone with keyboard shortcuts and new dedicated keys that unlock the full power of iOS.
Clicks will be available exclusively to Malaysian iPhone users through Swap Asia, the region’s leader in value-add services which focuses on creating value in end-to-end device lifecycles for carriers and manufacturers.
“We use keyboards on our desktops, laptops and tablets every day – so it’s kind of odd that we abandoned physical buttons on the smartphone,” remarked Clicks Technology’s co-founder Michael Fisher a.k.a. Mr Mobile who is also a YouTube tech reviewer with 1.2 million subscribers.
“Clicks brings the tactility and precision of a physical keyboard to iPhone, so people don’t have to wait until they get back to their desks to create or communicate with the satisfying feedback only real buttons can provide.”
Innovation par excellence
Fisher’s colleague and Clicks Technology’s co-founder Kevin Michaluk reckoned that Clicks will appeal as much to long-time iPhone users as it will to past keyboard phone users.
“We assembled a dream team of tech industry veterans to bring together the best of physical keyboards with the best of iPhone,” he enthused. “We laboured over every decision from exactly how the buttons should feel to the keyboard layout while ensuring that it would be intuitive for iPhone users.”
Meanwhile, Swap Asia is honoured to partner with Clicks Technology to bring this innovative product to the region, according to its managing director Andy Tan.
“Their drive for innovation resonates perfectly with our own vision and culture, giving us the opportunity to create stronger value for Malaysian customers,” he pointed out.
“We are excited to leverage our expertise and market presence to drive the growth of Clicks in Malaysia, thus offering iPhone users a unique and enhanced experience for the very first time.”
In a nutshell, combining the Clicks creator keyboard with iPhone brings the benefits of touch and typing together in a seamless experience of:
- Content first experiences: Today’s virtual keyboards occupy almost half the screen and obscure content. By moving the keyboard off the display when typing, Clicks nearly doubles the screen available for iPhone users to immerse themselves in apps and content.
- Precision typing for on-the-go creation: Many iPhone users wait to get back to their desks to tackle tasks on a full keyboard. With real keys, typing feels natural thus allowing for mobile creation like writing long notes, editing documents or taking action on ideas.
- Tackling tasks with keyboard shortcuts: iPhone users gain access to powerful iOS keyboard short-cuts for the first time. – July 3, 2024
