Gboard's Round Keys Spark Outrage

Google silently updated Gboard, changing the key shape from squares to circles and slightly repositioning them. This has angered users, who complain about reduced typing efficiency and comfort, and the lack of warning about the interface change. While users can disable key borders in theme settings, this doesn't fully address the issue. The update highlights the importance of user habits and the risks of altering default settings without user consent.
