Gboard Android Gets Rounder Keys in Beta

Google is rolling out a new design for some Gboard beta testers on Android, featuring circular and pill-shaped keys. This isn't just a minor tweak; the key shapes have been significantly redesigned, moving from rounded rectangles to circles and pills for letters, with the spacebar and other keys adopting a pill shape. While touch targets remain unchanged, the visual impact is substantial, giving Gboard a more modern feel. However, users with "Long press for symbols" enabled might find the layout cramped. This change is currently limited to some Gboard beta (version 15.1) users and a wider rollout is yet to be confirmed by Google.
