For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Tap to give MacRumors readers a chance to win one of the company's wearable keyboards, which Tap believes is the keyboard of the future.

Available for $199, the Tap is a keyboard that's unlike anything else that you've used because it turns your fingers into the keys, letting you type letters, numbers, and symbols with simple taps.

The Tap uses a series of finger-worn rings with built-in sensors that are designed to detect your tap gestures. The rings are adjustable and can fit a wide range of hand sizes, and because it's wearable, you can basically use the Tap Keyboard wherever you happen to be.


Typing each letter of the alphabet is done with a different tap. To make an "A," for example, you tap your thumb in a downwards motion. A single tap of the index finger makes an "E," and to create a "K" you tap your thumb and ring finger downwards at the same time.

Learning to use the Tap Keyboard can take a few days to a few weeks because learning and mastering an entirely new way of typing takes some time. When I reviewed the Tap last year I was able to learn how to use it in about a week of practicing for 30 minutes a day.

Tap makes a fun, intuitive app called the TapAcademy to teach you how to use the Tap. It's a 30-day course that requires just 10 minutes a day to memorize all the letters, numbers, and symbols you need to use the Tap. There are Tap-designed games to play too.

The Tap is a Bluetooth keyboard, so it works with all Bluetooth-enabled devices, including your Mac, your iPhone, and your iPad. There's also a built-in mouse replacement feature that lets you use your thumb as a mouse for navigation.

On the ‌iPhone‌, there are some neat features to be aware of. There are plenty of built-in iOS shortcuts for doing things like searching, selecting apps, and getting to the Home screen, and multiple Accessibility options are supported. There are Tap controls for VoiceOver commands, such as choosing an item, reading what's on the page, and more, and it works with the iOS Switch Control feature. You can map switches to any finger tap, making Tap inclusive and useful for those with visual impairments or limited mobility.

The Tap Keyboard has been out for over a year now, and the company behind it has had time to refine the technology. A recent firmware update made the Tap more accurate on soft surfaces (like a leg), and it added a new option for pairing the Tap with up to three devices and switching between them with a button press.

Well, that's super annoying and sketchy, MacRumors... So I go ahead and give my name and email address (which I now regret). It then tells me I have zero entries and I need to log in with a social network account to prove I'm a "real person." So now it has captured my info, declined to give me credit for an entry and then sends me to log in with the world's least trustworthy institutions that are rife with non-real people. Not cool...

So, does it have keyboard macros, like extending the middle finger types "Up yours", etc.?

Macrumors has really been pimping this the past couple years, huh? It looks awkward to use.

I can just see AngerDanger wielding this clumsy tool in a Minority Report manner to awkwardly create GIFs far more clumsily than if he had a mouse and keyboard.

Side note: I hope AngerDanger wins this.

My brain hurts just thinking about all the tap combinations you’ll have to remember to use this thing.
Niche product, when dictation and Hey Siri exists.

Better solution, dictation.
