Everyday it seems like there’s a new invention that redefines how we see and interact with our world, especially now-a-days in the digital world. It can feel almost overwhelming by how fast we humans are advancing in our technological understanding and skill, and that comes out in our latest tech inventions. When I was in high school, I learned a coding language that was obsolete a year later, and that trend has not stopped, and has only ramped up.
Look at cell phones for instance, as there are new and exciting and innovative designs, packed full of features, every few months. It’s hard to keep up. But it is the unique inventions that have the biggest impact, and that’s no truer than when one considers the TAP wearable keyboard, mouse and controller.
TAP is a bluetooth device that lets your fingers control and communicate through your devices, computers and gaming systems, unlike any keyboard on the market before. No more bulky keyboard to lug around, no more wires while you work, because now you can simply slip a strap over your fingers like a grouping of connected rings and you can control your phone, laptop, whatever. It’s pretty cool.
With TAP you can move your mouse, tap in corrections to documents as you write, or send messages, or even play games, and all you need is one hand. It works on any surface. It helps to be comfortable typing on a keyboard so that you know where each key is, but it’s not necessary to see or feel your keyboard anymore, which makes for a pretty wild jump from standard and conventional keyboards that almost makes TAP look like magic.

For a futuristic experience, the TAP keyboard sits at the base of your fingers, which then senses your gestures and finger taps. On your thumb sits another sensor that acts as your optical mouse, which is built into the loop. The packaging for TAP’s keyboard is similar to the sleekness of Apple products, but goes a step farther with its modern and sleek plastic case that holds the Tap strap. But that’s not all, because the folks at TAP also included a 370mAh power bank inside the case that extends the battery life for around 8-hours. It takes two hours to charge, while the TAP has shown the ability to work for up to 64-hours.
Upon initial use, it may take a little bit of practice to get use to the system, but once you’ve done that, the TAP works pretty well. I really like using it for my writing, though I wish I could type with both hands for faster flow. TAP uses a proprietary alphabet system that makes texting and working faster with one hand. To learn, TAP has created a TapGenius app and TapAloud (optimized for audible learning) that helps as a how-to game, which I found to be a pretty cool learning feature. It can take around 90-minutes or so to become fluid with their keyboard system.
Overall, I found the TAP to be a fun, futuristic invention that has a lot of versatility and potential to forcing the next generation of keyboarding and computing to the next level. If you would like to learn more about TAP, click here.
