In this edition of the Web News, Matt and Mike dive into the surprising return of keyboard phones. With devices like the Titan 2 Elite and Clicks Communicator gaining traction, physical keyboards are suddenly back in the spotlight. But this isn’t just nostalgia. As digital minimalism grows, more people are pushing back against endless doomscrolling and touchscreen fatigue. Could keyboard phones offer a more intentional, focused mobile experience? Or is this just another short-lived trend riding on retro hype? Matt also reflects on his long-standing love of keyboard phones and whether modern smartphones have done enough to pull him away - or if the tactile typing experience still has a place in 2026.
