Or the worst keyboard ever created. But what is the motivation of the Japanese branch of Google behind this project? Let’s see it together.

The product in question

To learn more about this keyboard, I invite you to watch this video of the company presenting this tool.

You’ll quickly understand, even if the video looks serious at first, we quickly realize that it is a little joke from the Japanese teams at Google.

Funny facts

Surprisingly enough, they pushed the joke to the end by proposing the project on GitHub so that anyone with a 3D printer and a little know-how can reproduce this keyboard from hell.

Second funny fact, they created a real product landing page and whose URL is composed of several underscores linked together as if to signify the length of this monstrosity.

Thank you for reading 🙏.
