Clicks Technology chooses Malaysia to launch its keyboard accessory for iPhone in Asia

Kuala Lumpur, 3 July 2024 – Clicks Technology, along with regional distributor Swap Asia, launches Clicks, a first-of-its-kind keyboard accessory for iPhones, freeing up screen space by replacing the virtual keyboard.

The launch event featured Clicks Technology’s CEO Adrian L Mow Ching, CCO Johnathan Young, CMO Jeff Gadway, and Swap Asia MD Andy Tan. Clicks provides a tactile typing experience with real buttons, enhancing on-the-go creation and offering keyboard shortcuts and new dedicated keys to unlock iOS’s full potential.

Clicks will be avalable exclusively to Malaysian iPhone users through Swap Asia, the region’s leader in value-add services, focusing on creating value in end-to-end device lifecycles for carriers and manufacturers.

“We use keyboards on our desktops, laptops and tablets every day – so it’s kind of odd that we abandoned physical buttons on the smartphone.

“Clicks brings the tactility and precision of a physical keyboard to iPhone, so people don’t have to wait until they get back to their desks to create or communicate with the satisfying feedback only real buttons can provide.” said Michael Fisher (known as Mr. Mobile), Co-founder of Clicks Technology and a YouTube tech reviewer with 1.2 million subscribers.

“Clicks will appeal as much to longtime iPhone users as it will to past keyboard phone users,” said Kevin Michaluk, Co-founder at Clicks Technology.

“We assembled a dream team of tech industry veterans to bring together the best of physical keyboards with the best of iPhone. We labored over every decision from exactly how the buttons should feel to the keyboard layout, ensuring it would be intuitive for iPhone users.
