Fast technology news on October 5th, the Google Gboard team recently announced the launch of a physical keyboard called "Gboard Double Sided Version", the shape of which adopts a structure similar to a Mobius ring, the front and back are the same, and can be used from any angle, and even supports multiple people to use at the same time.
It is reported that the keys of the keyboard use the MX mechanical switch that supports hot swapping, consisting of 26 connection modules, each module has 8 buttons, with 208 groups of key configurations, and the keyboard body uses 3D printed frames and soft circuit boards.
Officially, the design idea of this keyboard is how to make the keyboard usable in the state of turning it over, "We noticed that there are keys on only one side of the keyboard. If you turn the keyboard upside down, you won't be able to type at all. In order to solve this big problem, we racked our brains and finally developed this keyboard. The Gboard Double Sided Version keyboard goes beyond the concept of two sides. ”
It's worth noting that this is not the first time that the Google Gboard team has revitalized the keyboard, and two years ago there was a keyboard called Gboard Bar, which is claimed to be a physical version of the Gboard input method.
The Gboard Bar is a never-before-seen single-row keyboard with all the keys in one row and a length of 1.65 meters.
Officials say that the advantage of this is that it can minimize the trouble of having to find the keys up, down, left and right when using a traditional keyboard, and only need to find the keys you need in order from left to right.
