Clicks Co-Founder Weighs In on Company's Latest Devices
The gadget-loving company, known for its charmingly out-of-place keyboard cases and accessories, recently unveiled a new magnetic keyboard accessory called the Power Keyboard, which can be used as both a battery pack and a traditional keyboard. The device is a big improvement over its predecessor, with features such as a dedicated number row and a slider form factor that gives it an old-school feel.
According to Clicks co-founder Jeff Gadway, the company's latest devices are aimed at people who want a more premium typing experience without breaking the bank. "You've got people who are mandated to carry a second device for corporate deployment," he explained. "Then you've got small business owners and travelers who want a separate phone for their work or personal use." Gadway also mentioned that there's a growing trend of digital detox and digital minimalism, where people want a simpler way to communicate.
The Power Keyboard is priced at $79 and is available now for pre-order. While it may not be the most feature-rich device on the market, its unique design and functionality make it an attractive option for those who value tactile typing.
The company's more unexpected product, the Communicator, is a squarish Android phone with a 4-inch touchscreen keyboard. It features a custom implementation of the Niagara Android launcher, which focuses on messaging apps and quickly triaging through new items. The device also includes customizable LED lighting and can be swiped across to navigate and take actions on what you see.
The Communicator is priced at $399, which puts it in competition with high-end smartphones like the Pixel 9a. While its form factor may not appeal to everyone, its unique design and focus on messaging apps make it an interesting alternative for those who want a device that's specifically designed for communication.
Ultimately, whether or not Clicks' latest devices will find their audience remains to be seen. However, with their commitment to creating high-quality accessories and devices, the company is definitely worth keeping an eye on in the future.
