Today, when physical keyboards no longer exist in smartphones, iPhone cases that combine keyboard functions, enhanced by design, re-embrace the feeling of typing on mobile phones and also bring three unexpected benefits!
In 2007, the world’s first iPhone was officially launched. Founder Steve Jobs boldly proposed at the time that if the iPhone was to reach the next stage of the “mobile phone experience,” the physical keyboard should be abandoned in exchange for a greater level of design space. product. Now the timeline has moved to 2024 and Steve Jobs’ subversive idea has now become an everyday application.
However, following the mainstream trend of the new era, the new brand Clicks Technology believes that abandoning physical keyboards may be an unnecessary sacrifice for the evolution of smartphones. As long as it is empowered by design, there will be opportunities to create more of it. The best of both worlds. Therefore the brand team went almost in the opposite direction and launched the iPhone case “Clicks for iPhone” equipped with a physical keyboard, which not only recaptures the typing feeling of the past, but also frees up more space on the screen.
Designing is not copying the past, but optimizing the present
Instead of directly copying past cell phone keyboards, Clicks Technology prefers to optimize and design based on existing iPhone models, so the development team mounted the physical keyboard concept on an easy-to-remove cell phone case. If the phone case is installed, you can easily attach the physical keyboard, just like a natural extension of the iPhone body.
In terms of aesthetic design, Clicks for iPhone features a round keyboard like a typewriter and is available in two colors: London Fog Blue with a sober texture and Lively and Bright Bee Yellow, which shows that the development team is giving to the case of the phone a new keyboard typing function and also reflects the personal lifestyle that the cell phone case itself can show as a daily accessory.
Why I’m embracing physical keyboards again
Today’s on-screen keyboards have become a new consensus for smartphones. Why does Clicks technology still go against the mainstream and try to promote the revival of physical keyboards? As co-founder of the brand, Michael Fisher believes that physical keyboards will bring three unexpected benefits to the mobile phone experience: –
#01 Free up more screen space
In general, if you type on a smartphone, the keyboard will take up almost half of the phone’s screen, which greatly limits the screen space that can be used. However, the design of Clicks for iPhone allows people to type even while typing. You can also enjoy the full screen navigation, whether it is editing forms, files or sending messages and chats, etc., bringing back the full screen experience to people.
#02 Also suitable for mobile phones! Computer-style shortcut keys
For people accustomed to computers, the presence of hotkeys makes the user experience more comfortable and fluid. And through Clicks’ physical keyboard for iPhone, people can enjoy the convenience brought by hotkeys even on mobile phones. The development team has also For this article, a multi-page list of combinations has been compiled that fully demonstrates the different possibilities that a physical keyboard can offer in the operation and use of mobile phones.
#03 So-called typing should be “tapping” instead of “touching”
To some extent, the physical keyboard avoids the sometimes unnecessary automatic word suggestions typical of cell phone input methods, and also allows people to not have to stare at the keyboard while typing. However, these pragmatic benefits aside, co-founder Michael Fisher bluntly stated that for him the most irreplaceable value of a physical keyboard is the tactile feedback of the interaction between your fingers and the keyboard. Such an experience not only brings satisfaction. him that so-called “typing” should be a click rather than a tap.
Thus was born a product design that combines new technologies and old experiences. On mobile phones equipped with Clicks for iPhone, people can once again enjoy the sonic rhythm and tactile feedback brought by typing. Here, Clicks Technology uses design thinking and methods to provide What has been abandoned due to technological evolution offers dialectics and the possibility of returning to everyday communion.
