The keyboard that swaps out toxic phrases for sweet and positive messages during gameplay.
The Social Problem
There are 70 million online gamers in Indonesia, with over 60% actively playing in cybercafes that have become a hotbed for cyberbullying. Research shows that bullying in online gaming contributed 70.5% of cyberbullying in the country.
The Creative Solution
Introducing The Anti-Hate Keyboard. The specially reprogrammed keyboards swap toxic phrases typed out by bullies for sweet and encouraging messages for their fellow online gamers.
How it works
Using first-party data, we identified and extracted toxic phrases commonly used by bullies. We then reprogrammed the processor of the Quantum Mechanical keyboards and synced the toxic phrases to the keyboard through QMK firmware. On 3 Oct 2022, World Day of Bullying Prevention, the Anti- Hate Keyboards were given out to cybercafes across several cities.When bullies unleashed abusive attacks, their toxic phrases were swapped for sweet messages in the chatroom.
