Google Japan announced a new keyboard design that addresses the “big problem” of keyboards only having keys on one side.

The Double-Sided Gboard keyboard design features 208 keys in an ortho-linear 26 x 8 layout on a Möbius strip.

Google isn't planning to manufacture this paradoxical input device commercially.

It has open-sourced its device building plans, including STL files, firmware, and more.
