Keyboard manufacturer Akko has just launched an iPhone keyboard case called MetaKey, proving that BlackBerry nostalgia is alive, well, and willing to add inches to your smartphone’s length. Like Clicks’ cases, the MetaKey case connects via USB-C and adds a QWERTY keyboard to the bottom of the iPhone. The case features backlit keys and includes shortcuts for common tasks like accessing Siri, triggering voice-to-text, and entering numbers. There’s also a unique scrolling mode that converts the top two rows of keys into large scroll buttons for browsing social media. One of the practical challenges of these sort of keyboard cases is that they can be top-heavy. To address this, the MetaKey includes a removable 9-gram weight that attaches to the back of the keyboard to improve balance while typing. MagSafe-compatible and with a USB-C passthrough port for charging. The physical keyboard case category is undoubtedly niche, but the MetaKey’s lower price might appeal if you want to try out the concept without committing to Clicks’ premium pricing.
