Transforming your new 2025 Motorola Razr into a BlackBerry-like device is possible, albeit in a unique way. My journey with physical QWERTY keyboards began with the LG Voyager, a clamshell feature phone that struggled to compete with the iPhone’s responsive capacitive touchscreen. Although the Voyager excelled in its keyboard design, my experience with BlackBerry offered a contrasting outcome, especially with the flawed Storm 9530, which ultimately lacked a physical keyboard.
While BlackBerry aimed to innovate with its SurePress display, it faced significant competition from Android devices like the Motorola DROID, marking a pivotal shift in the smartphone landscape. Despite adapting to virtual keyboards on Android and iPhone devices, I have always been drawn to the tactile nature of physical keyboards. My experience with the DROID’s QWERTY was underwhelming due to flat keys, but the DROID 4 stood out as an exception.
Unfortunately, physical keyboards quickly became obsolete. This trend continued with Ryan Seacrest’s Typo keyboard case for the iPhone, which drew inspiration from the BlackBerry Q10, leading to a legal battle that saw Typo ultimately discontinued. Recently, I invested in the Clicks keyboard case for my iPhone 15 Pro Max and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The creators of Clicks, including Kevin Michaluk and Michael Fisher, have expanded their offerings to include various Android devices. With the latest Motorola Razr models for 2025, Clicks has introduced a QWERTY keyboard case designed specifically for these phones. Priced at $139, the Clicks keyboard case is available for pre-order and is expected to ship in early May.
The Clicks keyboard enhances screen usability by relocating the QWERTY off the external display, featuring illuminated keys and shortcuts for efficient navigation. This case could make for a thoughtful graduation gift or an excellent surprise for Mother’s or Father’s Day, blending modern tech with a nostalgic typing experience.
