The rapid evolution of modern smartphones made touchscreens ubiquitous, but that transition came at the expense of tactile typing. In an interview with Android Central, Clicks co-founder Jeff Gadway reflected on this shift, noting that something essential was lost when the industry moved away from physical keyboards.

Gadway highlighted the motivation behind Clicks, which aims to revive the tactile typing experience for contemporary devices. While glass screens provide ultimate display flexibility, physical keys offer tactile feedback, improved accuracy, and a distinct typing rhythm that many users still crave.

By designing keyboard accessories for modern handsets, Clicks is seeking to bridge the gap between classic functionality and modern smartphone performance, giving power users and traditionalists a tangible alternative to virtual keyboards.
