The Gboard, a keyboard for only the nerdiest of Gmail users

Most of the people I know use Gmail, but at the same time I am not sure any of them, or anyone for that matter needs a keyboard that was designed for Gmail. That said, the Gboard does have a strange nerd appeal for me.

As for what the Gboard actually is, well it is a 19 key keyboard that will let you navigate through your Gmail account like a pro. Included on the keyboard are the most commonly used shortcuts to include search, stars, reply all, forward, archive, trash, next and so on.

Of course, I should point out that this is not an official Google product, but one that comes courtesy of Charlie Mason, who is a film producer that has chosen to make the Gboard his first computer hardware product.

As far as using the Gboard, it seems that it cannot get any simpler. Plus the keyboard into an available USB port, enable (if you have not already) keyboard shortcuts in Gmail and start enjoying your newfound simplicity.

The Gboard will set you back $19.99 and can be purchased directly from the Gboard website.
