Ever thought about wearing your keyboard? No? Well, Google Japan certainly has. Named the ‘Gboard cap’ after its virtual QWERTY app, this isn’t just a stylish headpiece. This hat doubles up as a functioning keyboard!

For the tech-savvy, The Keycap hat isn’t just a novelty. Toggle its settings to display English letters, and by tilting your head in various directions, different characters will pop up. This movement-based mechanism is your new way to send texts, type up emails, or even write documents – all with some head bobbing! As Google Japan quipped in their blog, “Yearning for a portable keyboard when your hands are full? Our Keycap hat brings mobility, practicality, and style to the table.” And for those worried about their new tech-hat slipping? Fear not – the built-in “Caps Lock” feature ensures it remains snugly on top.

If you’re itching to grab one, there’s a catch. Google isn’t mass-producing these caps. But they’ve thrown down the gauntlet for DIY enthusiasts. Keen crafters can find guidelines on GitHub or, for those who prefer recyclable materials, there’s a cardboard version. Just be ready to navigate some Japanese instructions.

Functioning much like its non-wearable counterpart, to type a letter, wearers will need to position their head to display the desired character and tap the hat’s top. Though this head-tilting typing method may seem fun, we foresee some potential for neck strains or headaches, especially for social media weirdos.
