Clicks Technology Unveils Groundbreaking Physical Keyboard Solutions for Mobile Devices
Revolutionizing Mobile Typing: The Communicator Smartphone and Slide-Out Keyboard
Clicks Technology, a leader in designing physical keyboards for mobile gadgets, is launching two innovative products ahead of the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The first is the Communicator, a smartphone equipped with a tactile keyboard aimed at professionals who manage separate work and personal phones. Alongside this, they introduce an affordable $79 slide-out keyboard compatible with smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs.
The Communicator: Bridging Classic Design with Modern Productivity Needs
The Communicator draws inspiration from iconic productivity phones like BlackBerry but is tailored to meet today’s professional demands. Priced at $499 with early purchase incentives available, it caters to users who prioritize messaging, emailing, and document editing-tasks where physical keyboards still outperform touchscreen typing.
This device intentionally minimizes distractions by excluding addictive social media platforms and games. Rather, it focuses on essential interaction apps such as Gmail, Telegram, whatsapp, and Slack through its integration with Niagara Launcher-a streamlined Android interface optimized for productivity.
Innovative Features Crafted for Enhanced efficiency
- Customizable Signal Light: An LED button on the side that changes colors to alert users about messages from specific contacts or applications-for example, blue might indicate urgent emails while orange signals Slack notifications.
- Multifunctional Prompt Key: This versatile button enables rapid voice dictation within text fields or recording short voice memos outside them. Upcoming software updates plan to incorporate AI assistant access via this key to further boost workflow efficiency.
- Tactile Touch-Sensitive Keyboard: Ergonomically designed keys provide satisfying feedback while supporting touch gestures like scrolling through emails or web pages without needing direct touchscreen interaction.
A Blend of Nostalgia and Practical Hardware Elements
The phone includes several features frequently enough missing from modern devices: a 3.5mm headphone jack; dual SIM capability combining both physical SIM tray and eSIM; expandable microSD storage up to 2TB; plus a dedicated tactile switch that toggles airplane mode but can be customized to control either the Signal Light or keyboard input functions.
The removable back cover allows users to personalize their device’s look by choosing among three color options-Ash Gray (smoky gray), forest Green (deep green), and Midnight Black (onyx).
