Keypad Gives Gmail Addicts Colorful Shortcut Keys

The Gboard, a keypad for Gmail shortcut keysHeavy Gmail users know that keyboard shortcuts are the key to mail productivity: I can power through an inbox full of spam and PR come-ons with nothing more than the J, K, X, Shift-3 and Y keys.

For $20, you can put those shortcut keys onto their own, external keypad, with color-coded buttons to make it easy to press whatever you want. The Gboard would be handy for those who have trouble remembering Google’s many shortcut keys (for instance, I had no idea that there were enough to fill out the Gboard’s 19 separate keys). And for power users like me, it might make it even easier to delete messages, much as an external numeric keypad makes it easier for accountants to add up your deductions.
