The Clicks keyboard case, which has sold over 100,000 units worldwide since its launch in January 2024, is finally making its way to Android devices. The case, which features a tiny thumb-friendly keyboard reminiscent of the classic BlackBerry design, was initially only compatible with iPhone 14, 15, and 16 models. Starting in April, Android users will be able to get their hands on the case, which will be available for several Motorola, Google Pixel, and Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

The Android version of the Clicks keyboard case will work with a new Android version of the Clicks Keyboard mobile app, allowing users to customize the keyboard's functionality, including how the caps lock, return, and Clicks keys work. Preorders for all of the Android Clicks keyboard cases start today through the company's website, with availability varying by device.

The Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro (not the XL) version of the case will sell for $99 until March 21st and then increase in price to $139. Color options include a "high-vis yellow-green" called surge and black. The Motorola Razr Plus (2024) and Razr (2024) version of the case will be available in electric blue or black and can be preordered for $49 to lock in a price of $99. After March 21st, preorders will still be $49, but pricing for the case, which is expected to ship in late May, will jump to $139.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 version of the case will be available in red and black and is not expected to ship until June. The Android version of the Clicks case carries over the same keyboard design as the iPhone version, including the use of round keys that are slightly angled to improve the typing experience. Some of the key labels are slightly different, but like the original iPhone version, the Android Clicks case still allows keyboard shortcuts to be used for launching apps or quickly navigating Android, including a dedicated key for accessing Google Gemini.

The case also features backlighting and draws all the power it needs from each Android device's USB-C port, eliminating the need for a battery. The physical design of the case is also similar, although the version for the Motorola Razr Plus and Razr (2024) is split into two halves, allowing both devices to still fold. Clicks is also adding a "strong magnetic array" to the two Pixel cases, a feature the company introduced with the iPhone 16 version to improve MagSafe compatibility, making it easier to use wireless chargers with Google's latest smartphones.

The expansion of the Clicks keyboard case to Android devices is a significant move, as it opens up the product to a wider range of users. The case's popularity on iPhone is a testament to the enduring appeal of physical keyboards, and it will be interesting to see how Android users respond to the product. With its customizable functionality and sleek design, the Clicks keyboard case is likely to be a hit with Android fans who miss the tactile experience of typing on a physical keyboard.

In a market dominated by touchscreen keyboards, the Clicks case is a refreshing alternative that combines the best of both worlds. As the smartphone market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how products like the Clicks case shape the future of mobile typing. One thing is certain, however: the Clicks keyboard case is a game-changer for Android users who want a more tactile and efficient typing experience.
