That title is wild to parse... "Google Japan designs a keyboard that uses dials instead of keys"

> Gboard Dial Edition shows why the software team isn't allowed to design hardware

> ...

> In that context, the Gboard Dial Edition doesn’t seem so outlandish.

It's clearly a joke, but nothing in the article seems to indicate that the author realized this.

I love how the people in the video are rotating, it's like a perfect misapplication of PR videography.

Not only that, but Google Japan has a long history of humorous keyboards, such as the "Double Sided" keyboard: https://youtu.be/EHqPrHTN1dU , the "Single Row" keyboard: https://youtu.be/9G3DWHf1xX0 and the Spoon Bending keyboard: https://youtu.be/DeJY5d14qKs

It's been their running April Fools joke for years and they've upped the rate to every six months.
