Nothing brings me more joy than perfectly designed, perfectly functional, and perfectly silly gadgets. And Google Japan is the best at creating them.
Google Japan has just released a new type of hardware keyboard. It calls it Gboard Double-Sided, aka the “Infinity Keyboard.” I call it the Krispy Kreme because it looks like a donut. The device is actually an infinite loop with keys on both sides. (Also, it’s a joke, built to promote the real software-based Gboard that you can use on Android and iPhone devices.) But even though it’s just a stunt that started as an April’s Fools back in 2019, the keyboard actually works and you can build one yourself following the open-source schematics, 3D printable STL files, and firmware, all available on GitHub.
