Clicks is bringing a BlackBerry-style phone and a pocket keyboard to CES 2026

Clicks is heading into CES 2026 with two new products designed to rethink how people interact with their devices. The company, best known for its QWERTY phone keyboard accessories, has unveiled a full phone called the Communicator and a new Power Keyboard accessory that doubles as a tiny power bank.

Together, they show how physical input and focused hardware can still find a place in today’s touchscreen world. With CES 2026 around the corner, Clicks is betting that there are still plenty of people out there who want devices that help them communicate more and scroll less.

Clicks Communicator is for conversations, not doomscrolling

The Clicks Communicator is built for messaging, quick replies, and focused communication rather than endless swiping and feeds. It runs Android 16 and comes with its own 5G connection, compact design, 4,000 mAh battery, and a physical QWERTY keyboard built in, giving it a strong resemblance to classic BlackBerry-style devices.

Clicks has thoughtfully included features that appeal to people who want to cut out distractions without losing utility. The phone includes a physical mute switch, a standard headphone jack, and expandable microSD storage.

There’s also a customizable LED notification key that can glow different colors for specific contacts or apps, and a simple, minimalist launcher that prioritizes messages and notifications over social media tabs. That launcher is designed to make it easier to see what matters without diving into rabbit holes.

The Clicks Communicator phone retails at around $499, but early reservations start at $199, dropping the effective price to $399. The device will be available later in 2026 and comes in three finishes, including Clover Green, Smoke White, and Onyx Black.

Clicks Power Keyboard Brings Physical Typing Back to all your screens

If the phone scratches the itch for a more purposeful device, the Clicks Power Keyboard is meant to bring back physical typing to all your other screens. Instead of being a case for a single phone, this keyboard is a magnetic accessory that attaches via MagSafe or Qi2, slides comfortably into your palm like the keyboards of old, and connects over Bluetooth.

It offers a full QWERTY layout with tactile keys to make long messages, emails, or even browsing easier than tapping on glass alone. The Power Keyboard also includes a built-in 2,150 mAh battery that can act as a backup charger for your phone.

It’s not a huge power bank compared to dedicated units, but it’s enough to add a few extra hours of life and keep the keyboard powered via Bluetooth without draining your device’s main battery. The keyboard can also sit in landscape mode and work with tablets, laptops, or even smart TVs if you need quick input on big screens.

Preorders for the Power Keyboard are live now, with an early bird price of $79 before it goes upto $109 at launch. The accessory is expected to ship in spring 2026, giving fans of tactile typing something to look forward to beyond just phone screens.

Together, Clicks’ Communicator and Power Keyboard feel like a conscious throwback to a time when keys mattered. But rather than being nostalgia for its own sake, these products aim to solve real frustrations people have with touchscreens and endless notifications.

Ahead of CES 2026, coverage is already highlighting the biggest announcements to watch at the show, alongside predictions for how tech could shape 2026.
