This looks more like modern art than a peripheral
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.
I think it’s a joke
Is Oct 1 the Japanese equivalent of April Fools Day or something?
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.
Google Japan makes a neat-but-useless keyboard every October 1st.

There’s a super long one, one that’s a cup, one that’s a hat, and one that’s a spoon.
Probably more that I’m not remembering.
Yeah, I read that it’s a yearly thing. My question though, is why Oct 1?
It’s in the article I linked.
10/1 to celebrate the 101 key keyboard apparently? That’s what the linked article mentioned.
Wtf, I only saw the long one before. Thanks for sharing!
