The keyboard? How quaint.
Personally, I'd rather go old school with this peripheral device inspired by rotary phones. Even the backspace key on the Gboard has been replaced with a rotating indicator!
Google's Japan division offers this innovative design. You can download the 3D files and firmware here and make your own. Everything rotates, including the users in the video promoting the product. Google is convinced that everything can rotate and should be rotated for maximum efficiency.
I'm 90% sure this is a joke but 100% sure it is an awesome development that could be useful under unusual or extreme conditions.

Very nice! However, they blotched the design of the "return key". This is a nice idea for decelleration and for causing unprecedent "right index finger super tenosynovitis".
