Microsoft announces a revolutionary keyboard designed for vibe coding!

In a groundbreaking move that is sending shockwaves through the developer community, Microsoft has announced the release of the new TabBoard, a next-generation keyboard designed specifically for vibe coding. It features a sleek minimalist design, that consists of a single, perfectly tuned Tab key.

The TabBoard is a masterpiece of engineering. Encased in an stainless steel frame with a premium, touch-sensitive Tab key. This keyboard is designed for efficiency, style, and maximum vibes. Microsoft’s engineers have spent years perfecting the key’s tactile response, ensuring the ultimate tabbing experience while vibe coding with Copilot.

We noticed that 97% of all keystrokes made by real vibe coders were just pressing Tab over and over,” said Microsoft’s Lead Keyboard Innovation Architect Kris He to MSFT Media. “So we thought, ‘Why complicate things?’ The TabBoard simplifies coding to its purest Copilot form. The exact way developers of yore intended coding to be.”

“It’s going to be our ruin!” cried a developer from a competing company. “After all these years of making development more and more difficult, Microsoft had to come and burst our bubble!” They expressed concerns that a single key wouldn’t be enough, but as Kris commented, “It will be more than enough thanks to its seamless integration with Android and iPhone. Just say out loud, ‘I have an idea! Wouldn’t it be great if…’ near your phone, and Microsoft will receive the information immediately. Copilot will then assist with your coding as soon as you start using the TabBoard.”

Expected to sell out

With an advanced Tab key mechanism and premium build quality, Microsoft’s TabBoard is an absolute steal at just $249.99. No developer will want to miss the chance to own the only keyboard they’ll ever need to become a 10x Engineer. Why type when they can tab?

Available for pre-order starting next week, the TabBoard is expected to sell out instantly. Early adopters will also receive a limited-edition carrying case and a free physical AI Assistant to help with the Copilot coding tasks free for perpetuity!

Why not vibe code a script that does the tabbing for you. My job is done!

Why would have been funnier if vibe coding was tab completion. Lol
