## Master Typing

### Uppercase letters, numbers and symbols

There are a few ways to type a capital letter:

* Hold shift and tap a letter to get an upper case letter. \\
* Tap shift and then the next letter you press will be upper case\\
* Double tap shift and you will go into caps lock. 

The same concept applies to alternate characters (numbers & symbols) using the ‘123’ key

### Battery saving mode

Clicks draws very little charge from your Pixel to power the keyboard. Power saving mode reduces the draw even further by disconnecting Clicks when not in use.
