Google Japan has unveiled a queer-looking 165cm single-row keyboard, the Gboard Bar. The new keyboard has all its keys on a single line which accounts for its length. The conceptualization of the Gboard Bar aims to minimize the need for users to find keys in multiple lines.
With the Gboard Bar, you only need to look across the line to choose the key you want. The new keyboard has an ergonomic and aesthetic appeal. Google also says it comes with health benefits. It allows the user to stretch both arms and legs naturally when typing.
Google Japan has also established a GitHub page for the Gboard Bar and uploaded the needed data files for users to make the keyboard themselves. While theoretically, an individual can create his own Gboard Bar, Google Japan is silent on whether it has produced some units of the accessory.
The minimalist aesthetic design of the Gboard Bar could catch the fancy of some customers, but it remains to be seen how the product pans out in the market. A 5-foot (165cm) keyboard could prove an unwieldy accessory. Its futuristic design, however, looks good.
