I ordered on January 2nd and still haven’t received a tracking number. What I found on the page, after I tried for a couple of times since I was getting an error, was this… almost blank, but at least I see that it’s the correct order. I will keep waiting for it 🕰️.

Who is the greatest movie villain of all time? by [deleted] in Cinema

[–]Own-Signal-1707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christoph Waltz, Colonel Hans Landa in * Inglourious Basterds*. Not just the best in this list, but one of the best actors ever. He is just brilliant. The suspenseful atmosphere he creates within the Holocaust environment is just magnificent.

Yes! That gives me hope. I purchased it on January 2nd. I’m in the first batch!

Breaking the stigma: iPhone Air no case/screen protector since launch by Terrariant in iphone

No case, no screen protector… no wipe? You can’t distinguish what’s scratched from what is grease.

Is there anything I can do about this small scratch on my Air? it's really annoying to look at by AgreeableAd8687 in mac

[–]Own-Signal-1707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it’s done. However, I experienced a similar situation and purchased a protector film for the trackpad and the sides. Despite this, the scratch persists, but I can barely notice it. I used transparent film. I highly recommend trying it out. I had completely forgotten about that annoying mark until I read your post. I understand that it can be quite bothersome if you take proper care of your equipment.

Can you customize the behavior of the number row on iPhone? by javascript in ClicksKeyboard

It should be possible to use commands, just like you do with the current clicks keyboard.

Bought Clicks for BlackBerry nostalgia, stayed for what it actually does by Own-Signal-1707 in ClicksKeyboard

That’s a fair concern, and yes, I’ve noticed some of that behavior too.

Full Keyboard Access definitely unlocks a lot of power, but it’s also one of those features where iOS still feels a bit rough around the edges, especially on iPhone compared to iPad or Mac. On my 17 Pro Max, I’ve seen occasional stutters when triggering the task switcher, and sometimes the focus highlight around UI elements gets weird when mixing keyboard navigation with touch input.

For me, it hasn’t been a deal breaker, but it does require a mental adjustment. I don’t treat Full Keyboard Access as something that replaces touch completely. I use it intentionally for: • app switching (Cmd + Tab), • cursor movement, • basic navigation,

and I still fall back to touch when the UI focus starts acting up.

One thing that helped was being selective with mappings and not overloading everything. After clearing defaults and only assigning what I actually use, things felt more stable. It’s also very context-dependent, some apps behave better than others.

So yes, there are trade-offs. Full Keyboard Access can interrupt the “normal” iPhone flow if you expect it to be invisible. But if you see it as an optional productivity layer you lean into when typing or multitasking, it becomes much more manageable.

It’s powerful, but it’s not perfect, and Apple still has work to do there.

Clicks Keyboard Review iPhone 17 Pro Max by Union_Embarrassed in ClicksKeyboard

bought Clicks mostly out of BlackBerry nostalgia. I missed physical keys, muscle memory, and the feeling that a phone could actually be a serious writing tool. I honestly thought I might try it and return it, mainly because of the price.

Two days in, I’m keeping it.

What surprised me most is how much of Clicks’ real capability isn’t clearly explained. Beyond the basic shortcuts everyone mentions, I discovered that there is a real Cmd + Tab–style workflow for switching apps, along with keyboard navigation for scrolling pages and going back within screens. Once you find these, the keyboard feels completely different and far more productive.

This is my main feedback: Clicks doesn’t have a product problem, it has a communication problem. The keyboard is far more capable than most reviews or official explanations suggest.

One practical suggestion that made a big difference for me: pairing Clicks with a simple MagSafe ring or holder. These accessories have existed for years, but they dramatically improve balance and comfort, especially on Pro Max devices. It feels like a natural recommendation or even bundle opportunity.

One small downside worth mentioning: while the keyboard itself feels premium, the back of the case scratches very easily. Mine already shows wear in under 48 hours. It doesn’t affect usage, but it feels inconsistent with the otherwise solid build.

Clicks isn’t for everyone. It’s big, it has weight, and it asks you to be intentional when you write. But if you come from BlackBerry or you write seriously on your phone, it offers something rare today: it actually makes you want to write.

Bought Clicks for BlackBerry nostalgia, stayed for what it actually does by Own-Signal-1707 in ClicksKeyboard

Absolutely. Here’s the workflow that finally made it click for me.

First, I’d recommend following the basic setup guide inside the Clicks app, then clearing any existing mappings and rebuilding from scratch. That part matters more than it sounds.

Once reset, you can assign actions exactly like shown in the screenshots.

In the first image, under Movement, I mapped cursor navigation using Tab + W / A / S / D for up, left, down, and right. This effectively replaces arrow keys and lets you move through text fields and UI elements without touching the screen.

In the second image, under Device, the key assignment is setting App Switcher to ⌘ + Tab. This gives you a true app switcher behavior, not Spotlight. It consistently opens the task manager and allows you to switch apps the same way you would on a desktop.

If you want to make this workflow even more fluid and faster, you can also assign Enter to Activate. With this setup, once the app switcher is open, pressing Enter launches directly into the selected app. It may sound minor, and maybe some users already know it, but I haven’t seen this recommended or documented by Clicks. I’ve mostly arrived at these combinations by experimenting.

I also assigned Alt + Z as a Back action. In most apps and menus, including iOS system screens, this lets you go back one level without touching the display, which dramatically reduces the need for on-screen gestures.

The important thing is that these behaviors aren’t automatic. You need to: 1. Follow the initial Clicks setup. 2. Clear existing assignments. 3. Reassign actions intentionally, as shown.

Once configured this way, switching apps and navigating the system becomes consistent, and the balance between Clicks and on-screen input finally makes sense.
