"Akko, a company best known for keyboards, keycaps, and switches, has launched its own keyboard case for the iPhone. The MetaKey looks very similar to Clicks' lineup of cases that add a BlackBerry-style mini keyboard to the bottom of iPhones and Android phones, but with some improvements and a much cheaper price tag. The cheapest Clicks case starts at $139, but Akko's MetaKey is $59.99 for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is available now,"
"It also facilitates text entry on the iPhone without iOS' on-screen keyboard covering up nearly half the screen, but that comes at the cost of having to wrangle an iPhone that's a few inches longer with the case attached. Akko's solution for those that find their taller phone too top-heavy as they type is an included nine gram weight that can be attached to the back of the keyboard to improve the overall balance."
"Like the various Clicks keyboard cases, the MetaKey connects to the iPhone through its USB-C port and includes its own USB-C port for charging. It also features various shortcut keys for entering numbers, triggering app-specific functions, accessing Siri, using iOS' voice-to-text features, and a mode that turns the top two rows of keys into large scrolling buttons for when you're mindlessly browsing social media."
Akko's MetaKey is a keyboard case for iPhone that adds a BlackBerry-style mini physical keyboard and sells for $59.99 for the iPhone 16 Pro Max and $69.99 for the 17 Pro Max (temporarily discounted to $59.99). Color options include black, white, pink, blue, green, and orange. The keyboard connects via the iPhone's USB-C port and provides its own USB-C charging port, shortcut keys for numbers and app functions, a mode that converts top rows into large scrolling buttons, and a backlight. A nine-gram removable weight attaches to the back to improve balance, and the case is MagSafe compatible.
