Google Japan Releases Strange Keyboard

Google Japan has come up with a bizarre keyboard, which only uses one singular row of keys.

The keys appear to still be in the typical QWERTY order, with function and arrow keys.

I don’t see how this will remotely be ergonomic

Figured it was an April Fools' joke at first, but maybe there's a market. In the video you can see the employee moving their hand 2 feet to reach the other side.

I’m sure there is some super duper awesome reason behind this. Like maybe if you wanna hit every button on the keyboard piano style?

Not sure how well it would work as a walking stick though.

It'll take a considerable amount of time to adapt from a qwerty keyboard to this, to the point of using It In the same capacity.
