The Keyboard Challenge: A New Viral Trend Irritating and Delighting Social Media Users

A new trend on social media platforms like X is encouraging users to look between certain keys on their keyboards, inspired by a post on 4chan in May 2021.
The post featured a picture of a character named Yui Hirasawa from a popular anime series and the instruction to look between the keys "t" and "o" to see her name.

This trend has been both intriguing and annoying thousands of users.

A viral trend on social media involves posts with unusual instructions to look between the H and L keys, which results in the letters "JK" appearing.

This trend, which started with simple "just kidding" messages, has evolved into more creative uses such as labeling favorite sports players as "G" for "Greatest of All Time" or filling in inspirational messages.

Brands have also joined in to promote their products, and some use it to spread positive or motivational messages in a tongue-in-cheek way.

The origin of this trend and its continued popularity remains unclear.

A trend on social media involves users posting pictures of their keyboards with the caption "what's something you hate about your keyboard?" Many find the trend annoying and believe it to be "engagement bait," where clicking the reply button to check your keyboard is counted as engagement with the original post.

The accuracy of this claim is unclear, and some users are tired of seeing the trend.
