The "GBoard" Keyboard

E-mail Print PDF

Gmail has keyboard shortcuts and this time last year Google offered users a free pack of color-coded shortcut stickers for tacking onto any keyboard.

Now Gboard, a specialized mini-keyboard for Google's e-mail service created by a film producer from California, can lead you to them for $19.99.

The device is powered by USB and users need to enable keyboard shortcuts within Gmail's settings.

Clicking on any one of 19 colored keys set in a standard size numpad-only keyboard performs a particular keyboard shortcut such as start a search, jump between message threads or code emails by priorities.

Considering a total of 69 Gmail shortcuts, Gboard could end up a 100+key version fighting Microsoft's lucrative keyboard business.
