✨ Sophie, Rewritten on a Keyboard of Memory

In the same way “Sophie” by Haute & Freddie drifts through bars, subways, and half‑remembered dreams, the new Clicks Communicator revives a kind of analog intimacy in a digital world—its physical keyboard echoing the tactile longing at the heart of the song. Where Sophie is the elusive figure the narrator keeps trying to reach, Clicks’ BlackBerry‑like device is a modern attempt to reach back toward a time when communication felt slower, more intentional, more human. The Communicator’s purpose‑built design—focused on messaging, not endless scrolling—mirrors the song’s emotional core: a desire to reconnect with what matters, to type words that mean something, to bridge the distance between people in a world that moves too fast.

Clicks is doubling down on the return of tactile typing.

The company has unveiled its first smartphone — a BlackBerry‑style Communicator — alongside a new $79 slide‑out keyboard accessory, both designed for people who want to message more and scroll less. Together, they form a clear statement: intentional communication is back.

📦 A Purpose‑Built Phone for People Who Still Type

Clicks’ new Communicator is a compact, QWERTY‑equipped smartphone built for users who carry two devices or who simply want a distraction‑free messaging machine. Instead of the usual app‑packed home screen, the phone focuses on essentials — Gmail, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack — thanks to a partnership with Niagara Launcher, which strips away addictive feeds and games in favor of productivity toolsTechCrunch.

🔆 A Signal Light That Brings Back the BlackBerry Glow

The Communicator’s standout feature is the Signal Light, a customizable LED button on the side that can glow different colors depending on who’s messaging you or which app is pinging you. It doubles as a Prompt Key for dictation and quick voice notes, hinting at future AI integrations the company is teasing but hasn’t yet shipped.

⌨️ A Keyboard That’s More Than Nostalgia

Clicks built its reputation on physical keyboards, and the Communicator continues that lineage with ergonomic, touch‑sensitive keys that let you scroll through lists and messages without touching the screen. The device also embraces old‑school conveniences — a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD expansion up to 2TB, a physical SIM tray, and a tactile airplane‑mode switch — all wrapped in a swappable‑back design available in Smoke, Clover, and OnyxTechCrunch.

🔌 The $79 Slide‑Out Keyboard for Everyone Else

Alongside the phone, Clicks is launching a universal slide‑out keyboard accessory that attaches to smartphones and tablets, giving any device a retro‑modern typing experience. It’s meant for users who want the tactile feel without committing to a second phone — a nod to the company’s roots and a bet that physical keyboards still have a place in 2026.

💬 A Second Phone for a First‑Class Messaging Life

With early‑bird pricing at $399 and a clear pitch to productivity‑focused users, Clicks is positioning the Communicator as a tool for people who want to communicate with intention — not doomscroll. It’s a niche device, but one that taps into a growing appetite for simpler, more deliberate tech.

Intentional Typing

The Phone That Helps You Rewrite Your Tech Habits
The real secret of the Clicks Communicator is that it’s designed to change how you use your primary phone, not replace it. The company never says this outright, but the hardware choices reveal the intention: by stripping away feeds, games, and algorithmic distractions, the Communicator becomes a digital anchor that subtly rewires your habits. It’s engineered to make you message more, scroll less, and treat communication as a deliberate act — and that behavioral shift spills back into how you use your main smartphone. This is why the device has a headphone jack, a microSD slot, a physical SIM tray, and a tactile keyboard: it’s built to feel stable, grounded, and predictable in a way modern phones aren’t. The “insight no one talks about” is that Clicks isn’t selling nostalgia — it’s selling a new rhythm of attention, using old‑school hardware as the Trojan horse.
