Clicks Finally Gets Someone To Buy One

CUPERTINO, CA — In a development celebrated as the culmination of years of perseverance, innovation, and relentless advertising, Clicks, the phone case with a built-in physical keyboard, has finally gotten it’s first customer
“We are overjoyed to announce that, as of last Friday, Clicks has officially entered the consumer market, after nearly six years of pouring money into advertising” declared CEO Darren Maples at a sparsely attended press conference. “This is a watershed moment for the tech world, proving that there is indeed a market, however minuscule, for people who find touchscreen keyboards just a little too convenient.”
The historic sale reportedly took place on Instagram, where the buyer, 72-year-old Edith Plimpton, mistook the device for something her grandchild would want. “I thought it looked cute,” Plimpton said, gently tapping the keyboard and marveling at its “little clicky clack noises.” She added that she had purchased one for herself as well and planned to use it to send "the email" to her grandson.
Clicks, which has been ridiculed since its debut in 2018 as a solution in search of a problem, is a hybrid phone case and tactile keyboard that clips onto a smartphone and instantly triples its weight and thickness. Described in the product literature as “combining the worst of both worlds,” the accessory has been largely ignored by tech enthusiasts, professional reviewers, and sentient beings alike.
Industry experts remain skeptical. “Clicks isn’t solving a problem; it’s solving for a demographic that hasn’t existed since 2009,” explained tech analyst Fiona Choi. “But hey, kudos to them. Selling one is more than most of us expected.”
For her part, Plimpton seems genuinely pleased with her purchase. “I haven’t figured out how to get it to turn on yet, but I just love holding it,” she said. “It makes me feel important, like when I used to fax things at work.”
At press time, Plimpton’s grandson had reportedly refused to help her set it up, declaring, “Grandma, just use your iPad like a normal person.”
