GMail always had been the most simplest and easy to use mail service. With keyboard shortcuts accessing this mail service became more easy for geeks. But remembering them is not a easy task, and pressing ‘SHIFT + /’ every time is neither convenient. So to make things easy and more feasible, enters the market GBoard, a custom mini-keyboard with 19 essential keyboard shortcuts for Google’s Mail service.
This GMail hardware has 19 colored keys which resembles our normal numpad, with keys specially designed to function on the pre-defined Gmail shortcuts by Google.
So instead of scroll n click, you just hit a button to perform different tasks.
