Google Japan's latest Gboard experiment puts 116 keys on four moving conveyor belts, bringing letters to your fingers instead of the other way around – and yes, it may be ridiculous, but it does actually work.

Though there are a number of different layouts for computer keyboards, most have rows of keys that you push down to generate letters, numbers or symbols. The latest creation from Google Japan dials in something different.

Google Japan has released the newest version of the Gboard, a unique double-sided keyboard that’s based on the Möbius strip, integral to math, science, and popular culture. Usable by one person or several, the Gboard really is a keyboard with a twist.
