Gboard keyboard finally on Android, replacing Google Keyboard
JC Torres | Dec 12, 2016
It's rare, though not unheard of, for Google to launch a mobile app that is either an iOS exclusive or an iOS first. Especially for something as utilitarian as a virtual keyboard. Alas, that is exactly the case for Gboard, which launched last May exclusively for iOS. That is, until today. Google has finally, semi-officially made its new software keyboard available for Android, and it is doing one better. It is replacing its own Google Keyboard, which, depending on how you liked the idea of Gboard in the first place, may or may not be a good thing.

Apple's future keyboards could be customizable
JC Torres | Oct 19, 2016
If you thought Lenovo went crazy with its Halo Keyboard on the Yoga Book, take a gander at what Apple is speculated to have in store for the not so distant future. Admittedly, it's not as eccentric as a TRON-like touch screen keyboard, but it is just as unorthodox. Without ditching actual physical keys that everyone loves, Apple's next keyboards will sport tiny e-ink indicators. The purpose? To allow users to change what's written on the key and, of course, what the key press does, enabling them to practically turn it into an emoji keyboard.
Vensmile K8 puts a PC inside a flexible keyboard
We've seen our fair share of keyboards that practically hide computers inside them, whether a full-fledged mini PC or a Raspberry Pi hack. We've also seen all sorts of foldable, flexible, even rollable keyboards that maximize mobility. But a flexible keyboard that hides a computer? That's definitely a first. And that is exactly what a company by the name of Vensmile is attempting to sell. Simply called the K8, the product packages productivity in a more portable form. Too bad it doesn't have package a display with it as well.
How Apple's next MacBook Pro could be the most flexible laptop ever
Apple has been tipped to be speaking with Foxconn startup Sonder, a company which creates some of the strangest keyboards in the world. The keyboards Sonder makes don't look significantly different from Apple's current MacBook Pro and iMac offerings - just so long as their keys keep their standard characters. Sonder's big differentiator in keyboards is their ability to switch keys at a moment's notice using E-Ink technology.

If I'm gaming in the living room on my couch, there's really only one input device that I generally want to use.
