The device supports portrait and landscape modes, adjusts to different phone sizes, and includes a 2,150 mAh battery that can also wirelessly charge your phone. It features customizable keys, LED backlight, Apple Shortcuts integration, and cursor mode. However, the added bulk (180g, 15.2mm thick) makes it awkward to use with larger phones like the iPhone 17 Pro Max in portrait mode. The keyboard pairs over Bluetooth and works with tablets, Apple TV, and AR/VR headsets as well. It's positioned as a holdover until Clicks ships its own BlackBerry-style Communicator smartphone later this year. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
