My 3d printer is itching to make a non-euclidean keyboard - eviltoast
Google showcases bizarre double-sided Japanese keyboard, which it won't sell — the keyboard uses a Möbius strip as its foundation

Google isn’t going to manufacture this device but has open-sourced the build plans, including 3D printer files.

        Yeah, I read that it’s a yearly thing. My question though, is why Oct 1?

        Wtf, I only saw the long one before. Thanks for sharing!

        Edit: omg, the video! They even show the long keyboard in on scene. And an anime hommage with a guy running with a toast in his mouth. Hilarious.

      Yeah, it dates back to 1949. Shortly after the sino-japanese war on the 1st of October 1949 the CCP announced the creation of the People’s republic of china.

      The Japanese were all like, LOL, that’s our empire why do you say it’s a country and it became tradition to make outlandish jokes on the 1st of October. So to this day when the PRC celebrate their national day Japan celebrate jokes day (冗談の日).

      Also I made that shit up.

    What the fuck is this? I hate it. I hate this thing that Google made.

    Lol… I’m sorry. It’s just… I hate everything Google makes these days. They make everything worse in 2024, and that’s not a change over the last 5-10 years.
