Pixel 10 Qi2 Keyboard Case Goes Universal—And It’s a Game-Changer
Looking for a physical keyboard that works with your Pixel 10, iPhone, or even your tablet? At CES 2026, Clicks unveiled the Clicks Power—a magnetic, slide-out keyboard that ditches proprietary cases and embraces universal compatibility using Qi2 and MagSafe standards. Whether you’re drafting emails on the go or typing long-form content, this new accessory promises tactile feedback without sacrificing portability. And yes, it works wirelessly with virtually any Bluetooth-enabled device.
From Niche Gadget to Universal Accessory
Clicks first made waves by embedding physical keyboards into custom cases for select smartphones like the Pixel 9 and iPhone 15. But with the launch of Clicks Power, the company is going all-in on flexibility. By decoupling the keyboard from device-specific housings, Clicks now offers a standalone magnetic unit that snaps onto the back of your phone—no special case required. This pivot reflects a broader trend in mobile accessories: modularity over exclusivity.
Qi2 and MagSafe Make It Stick—Literally
The secret sauce behind Clicks Power’s universal design is its reliance on Qi2 and MagSafe magnetic alignment systems. If your phone supports Qi2 (like the Google Pixel 10) or MagSafe (like recent iPhones), the keyboard attaches seamlessly. For non-compatible devices, Clicks includes adhesive magnetic rings or recommends third-party magnetic cases—ensuring anyone can join in. The strong neodymium magnets keep the unit secure during transport while allowing smooth deployment when it’s time to type.
Slide, Type, Detach: A Truly Mobile Typing Experience
Unlike bulky Bluetooth keyboards that require extra bag space, Clicks Power folds flat against your phone’s back. When needed, it slides out horizontally—like a miniature BlackBerry—to reveal a compact but surprisingly usable QWERTY layout. The keys offer satisfying travel and tactile response, a rarity in ultra-thin mobile keyboards. And because it’s self-contained, you never lose a separate piece. It’s always there, magnetically waiting.
Bluetooth Freedom Means More Than Just Phones
One of Clicks Power’s biggest upgrades? It ditches physical connections entirely. Instead of relying on USB-C or Lightning passthroughs, the keyboard pairs over Bluetooth 5.3—meaning it works not just with your smartphone, but with Android tablets, Windows laptops, smart TVs, and even Raspberry Pi setups. This cross-platform versatility makes it ideal for creators, remote workers, and tech enthusiasts who juggle multiple devices daily.
Battery Life That Keeps Up With You
Clicks claims the Power keyboard lasts up to 60 hours on a single charge—more than enough for a week of intermittent use. Recharging happens via USB-C, and the unit includes a low-power mode that wakes instantly when you slide it open. There’s no companion app required; pairing is manual but straightforward, and once connected, the keyboard remembers your devices. For a peripheral this thin, that battery performance is impressive.
Designed for Real-World Use, Not Just Tech Shows
At first glance, the Clicks Power might seem like a nostalgic throwback. But in practice, it solves real pain points: on-screen keyboards are error-prone, voice typing isn’t always private, and full-size Bluetooth keyboards aren’t pocket-friendly. After testing early units, users report it’s particularly useful for composing long messages, coding snippets, or managing spreadsheets on the go—tasks that demand precision and speed.
CES 2026 Spotlights the Return of Physical Input
Clicks isn’t alone in betting on physical keyboards. At CES 2026, several startups showcased tactile input solutions—from rollable keyboards to modular keypads—suggesting a growing fatigue with touch-only interfaces. In an era of AI assistants and voice control, it’s ironic that users are craving the click and clack of real keys. Clicks Power taps into that desire with elegant execution and smart use of emerging wireless charging standards.
Compatibility List: What Works Out of the Box?
The Clicks Power is optimized for Qi2-enabled phones like the Google Pixel 10 series and MagSafe iPhones (12 and newer). Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and Motorola’s new Razr foldables also support magnetic alignment via optional cases. But even if your device lacks built-in magnets, the included adhesive ring ensures compatibility—though it adds a slight bump. Crucially, the Bluetooth connection means your operating system doesn’t matter: Android, iOS, iPadOS, and even ChromeOS are all supported.
Pricing and Availability
Clicks Power will ship in Q2 2026, starting at $99 for the standard model. A premium version with backlit keys and an aluminum frame will retail for $129. Pre-orders open next week via Clicks’ official site, with early adopters receiving a free magnetic ring kit. Given the accessory’s versatility and the rising demand for hybrid input methods, it’s poised to become a staple for mobile professionals.
Why This Matters Beyond Convenience
More than just a clever gadget, Clicks Power represents a shift toward user-controlled ecosystems. Instead of locking features behind brand walls, it leverages open standards like Qi2 and Bluetooth to empower choice. For journalists, developers, and students—like those covering events such as the APEC CEO Summit or evaluating tech in Dubai—this kind of reliable, cross-device input can streamline workflows in unpredictable environments. In a world of ever-larger screens, sometimes what you really need is a key under your thumb.
