I’m sure there are a lot of people who are into Gmail, and have probably mastered the shortcuts. For those who haven’t, this new Gboard will give you a level of great control.

It has 19 color-coded keys that can do anything from beginning messages, starting a search, and jumping between message threads. It attaches to the computer via USB, and is at a low price of just $19.99.

The good:
• No setup required
• Color coding is logical and makes it easy to learn the keys
• Good build quality and feel; keys are flat like on a laptop
• At $19.99 it’s not that expensive. Most numeric-only keyboards cost about the same.

The bad:
• Does not come close to including all of Gmail’s shortcuts
• Could be rendered less useful if Gmail’s shortcuts change
• Only comes in one color (black)
