Google's new Gboard keyboard doubles as a stick for various purposes

• Google has introduced a physical Gboard keyboard in Japan.
• The Gboard Bar is a long strip of keys arranged in a single row.
• Google doesn't plan to release the keyboard to consumers, but a suite of drawings, circuit diagrams, and firmware for making one is available on GitHub.

The Gboard Bar in Japan is a new type of keyboard that takes a whole new approach to physical keyboards.

The Gboard Bar's design is unlike any of the best keyboards you can buy, but it promises to make it easier to find the characters you want to type. Modern keyboard designs make it hard to look in two different directions because the keys are arranged on a flat surface.

A keyboard that holds all of its keys in a single bar will make it easier to find keys. The stick can be used for other things. It can be used as a ruler or a stick to reach the light switch. Attach a bug removing module to it and it will become a bug removing stick. There are a lot of use cases.

The Gboard Bar is 1650mm long and 64mm wide. You have to stretch your arms and legs when typing.
