Google is positioning itself as a global technology company behind the Android operating system, artificial intelligence Gemini or the most used internet browser Chrome. Everything it does has far-reaching consequences and a global impact. That's why most of us look at Google as a completely serious company that puts profit first and doesn't come up with any pointless experiments. But that's a big mistake. Google is very playful. And it proved it now when it introduced a new prototype of the Gboard keyboard, which moves towards users on a belt.
Branch Google Japan, which has invented various kinds of amazing keyboards in the past, has now introduced another of its products. It is a DIY keyboard. Gboard with keys placed on a moving conveyor belt. Which sounds strange in itself and few people can probably imagine what exactly it is from this description.

There is nothing easier than building two of these keyboards.
Of course, it's really bizarre and few people would actually want to use such a keyboard. So I would definitely like it. nestwow, and I wouldn't even know how to build it. But as a decoration next to the computer, it looks absolutely brilliant. And I like that the Japanese Google continues its tradition of releasing wondrous keyboard prototypes that both entertain and shock.
