Following a dummy model debut at CES, Clicks has shared a first look at the Communicator. This device targets users craving a tactile experience, combining a physical keyboard with a custom Android 16 interface. It positions itself as a secondary device for those who prefer typing over screen-tapping for daily tasks.

Hardware specs include a 4-inch OLED screen, a 4,000 mAh battery, and a fingerprint sensor built into the spacebar. It avoids modern omissions by including a 3.5mm headphone jack and micro SD storage. For photography, it uses a 50MP main camera and a 24MP front sensor to handle basic content needs.

Marketing VP Jeff Gadway demonstrated a ribbon-style interface based on the Niagara Launcher for app navigation. Co-founder Michael Fisher brings experience from the company's iPhone keyboard cases to this standalone project. Clicks plans a sales launch by Q4 2026 with a price point of $499.

This device appeals to the niche retro market by merging legacy form factors with current software. It creates a dedicated alternative for productivity enthusiasts who find modern glass slabs inefficient for texting. The company is leveraging its existing keyboard expertise to enter the hardware market.
