Peripherals maker Finalmouse has been teasing its entry to the keyboard market since the start of 2022. It boldly describes the upcoming keyboard as "unlike anything you’ve seen before," but now we have had a brief glimpse of it in action thanks to eSports fan and media personality Jake Lucky.

A keyboard never before seen has officially been leaked. The supposed Alpha Prototype from @Finalmouse is set with groundbreaking technology. A keyboard with completely interactive skins built on Unreal Engine 5… wtf pic.twitter.com/p9HhuN4DZrNovember 2, 2022

As well as the video upon which to feast your eyes, this leak also provides a list of specs. Finalmouse has not explicitly confirmed these specs, but it hasn"t indicated anything is off target. With that in mind, please check out the astonishing specs (for a keyboard) below but add a pinch of salt here and there.

Display contentThe full coverage keyboard display facilitates interactive skins powered by Unreal Engine 5, or traditional animated backdrops (video files). Source files will be curated in a Steam App.

If you are impressed so far, please note that Finalmouse is keen to highlight that the video shows what they call an "alpha prototype," from nearly a year ago. In another Tweet reply, the device maker pointed out to doubters that what they are seeing is a video where the keycap are on and ready to take input. Moreover it asserts that "the final product is on a different league." So, keyboard aficionados, set your alarm clocks for Saturday, Dec 17, and the official reveal.

Using keyboards as screens may seem a little wacky, but we only have to look back to October 2022 for a PC enthusiast attempting to make a massive usable display wall from chaining together 40 aRGB backlit keyboards. This new Finalmouse device is visually much more impressive. One of the big questions that remains for the Finalmouse animated keyboard regards its price. We know it isn"t going to be cheap, but the firm"s social media account admin seems to skim past any comments and queries regarding pricing.

For the last fifteen years or so, custom mechanical keyboards have been getting more and more wild. From artisan keycaps to super-specific switches to 3D-printed cases, we’ve seen it all. Well, we thought we had, until we saw this. The Finalmouse Centerpiece Keyboard features completely transparent mechanical keycaps and switches, resting on top of a fully-functional LCD screen. Why? Why the hell not?

The keyboard’s pre-loaded video skins react to the user’s typing, very much like a gaming keyboard, but the CG videos underneath can dynamically shift in real-time as they’re built in the Unreal game engine. New skins (free and paid) will be made available via a Steam app. The screen and video run on a CPU and GPU internal to the keyboard itself, with no resources taken from the attached PC. Up to three videos can be loaded and selected on the hardware.

How does it work? Finalmouse says that the screen uses a “Laminated DisplayCircuit Glass Stack.” What it looks like is a super-thin, transparent membrane beneath the switches that house hair-like electrical wiring, establishing the matrix circuit required for the keypresses to register. It’s a remarkable redesign of some fairly basic keyboard components, all sitting on top of the LCD screen.

The 65-percent board is housed in a customized CNC-milled case, with controls for the screen embedded in the side. The keys and screen itself are gasket-mounted, with linear switches based on the BlackInk design. Finalmouse says the board is “completely gamer-proof and able to withstand intense abuse,” though exactly what that means isn’t mentioned.

Shockingly, Finalmouse’s video says the keyboard will cost $349 when it goes on sale early next year. That’s a lot for a standard mechanical keyboard, but it’s less than the price of a lot of custom, boutique builds — a GMMK Pro with all the trimmings comes in at the same price, for example. Note that in order to get that mesmerizing screen, you’ll have to give up a few of the premiums associated with high-end boards, like a dedicated knob, wireless options, and swappable switches.

But who cares? If you want to get those upvotes on /r/battlestations, you’ll need the coolest, most ridiculous keyboard around. And as of 2023, that’ll be the Centerpiece. Until someone finds a way to let you literally type on water, I suppose.

Kwumsy has now introduced the world’s first mechanical keyboard with a built-in touchscreen display. Dubbed the “K2,” the new keyboard is constructed around a 12.6-inch touchscreen display capable of supporting up to 10 touchpoints. The entire device connects to your laptop or desktop via an HDMI or USB-C cable which conveniently gives you a multi-display setup, with the built-in screen supporting a 1920 x 515P resolution at 60Hz. When you’re on the go, you’ll even be able to connect the K2 to your smartphone or tablet, effectively turning it into a mini-computer.

As for the keyboard portion itself, the 71-key setup gives you plenty of customization options through its easily removable keycaps and fully hot-swappable switches. You’ll also have 15 different RGB backlight settings to choose from, and a bracket or external keyboard stand to give you a more aggressive typing angle. With full plug and play, you won’t need separate software for the K2 either.

Boutique gaming mouse manufacturer Finalmouse has big plans for its first foray into the mechanical keyboard market. Its Finalmouse Centerpiece is an eye-catching $349 keyboard that has a screen embedded underneath its transparent keycaps and switches. The effect is that it looks like you’re typing on the screen directly, while (hopefully) maintaining the feel and tactility of traditional mechanical switches.

There’s been at least one similar attempt at this idea made in the past: the Optimus Popularis. But while the Popularis used its screen (which was only visible through its individual transparent keys) to display useful information like keyboard shortcuts, Finalmouse’s seems to be far more cosmetic.

In the trailer, we see the keyboard showing a number of different visualizations, including Matrix-style green scrolling text and nature videos. Sometimes they’re interactive — like a pool of water that dynamically splashes when you touch a corresponding key — and in one case, the keyboard is even shown running a simple interactive game. The company is calling the technology behind this combination display and mechanical switch its “DisplayCircuit Glass Stack.”

Finalmouse says the keyboard is capable of storing three skins at a time, which can be switched on the keyboard itself. Additional skins will be downloadable from an app it’s calling “The Freethinker Portal” (seriously), and it says creators will be able to upload and charge for skins they’ve created. Each skin runs on the keyboard’s built-in CPU and GPU, and Finalmouse says they’re powered by Unreal Engine 5.

My big question is what this keyboard actually feels like to type on because the Optimus Popularis was basically unusable as a regular keyboard. Reassuringly, the Finalmouse Centerpiece uses standard Cherry MX-style switches, which should guarantee a certain level of quality. It’s collaborated with switch manufacturer Gateron to develop what it’s calling a “custom autolubed linear mechanical switch” based on Gateron’s existing and generally well-liked Black Ink linear switch.

The overall layout is compact and roughly 65 percent, which means you get an arrow key cluster but no function row. It’s a little hard to get a good view of the Centerpiece’s keycaps from Finalmouse’s trailer, but they appear to be low in profile and relatively flat in contrast to the scooped keycaps found on most mechanical keyboards.

In a move that’s presumably meant to allow as much screen as possible to shine through each keycap, their legends are printed on the front (rather than the top) of each key, which I can’t imagine is going to make them easy to read — especially not when the screen is in action.

There’s also no mention of more typical enthusiast mechanical keyboard features like support for remappable keys or hot-swappable switches — which let you replace a keyboard’s switches without desoldering. The trailer is also light on other technical specs, like the resolution of its built-in display or the specifics of its switches. Finalmouse does say it connects to a computer using a single USB-C cable.

Do you remember Logitech"s G19 keyboard with a customizable color display built into the top of the deck? It seems EVGA does, because its new Z10 mechanical keyboard also has a built-in LCD panel.

The comparison between the two is inevitable because LCD screens are not exactly commonplace in the keyboard market. There are only a few, all of them older models, like the Saitek Mad Catz Strike 7 and Razer"s DeathStalker Ultimate. We supposed you could throw the Optimus Maximus into the fray as well, as each of the keys has its own OLED display.

In any event, EVGA says it built the Z10 from the ground up with gamers and enthusiasts in mind, and having an LCD screen factored into that equation. It"s a customizable display that lets you monitor various stats, such as system temps, framerates, clockspeeds, and so forth. It also features custom game timers and various other functions.

Beyond the LCD panel, there is a column of five dedicated gaming/macro keys on the left side. Two more flank the up arrow, giving you seven in total. It also has dedicated media controls above the number pad, and two metal sliders—one for adjusting the volume and the other for adjusting the backlight brightness. EVGA opted to skip going the RGB route and stick with a single color backlight, in this case red.

The wrist pad attaches magnetically and can be adjusted to different lengths from the body of the keyboard. There"s also a couple of built-in USB 2.0 ports.

The Z10 is available now direct from EVGA and places like Amazon for $150. EVGA backs the keyboard with a 3-year warranty. Purchases made direct from EVGA come with a free X10 Carbon gaming mouse, until EVGA runs out of rodents. And if you need more, check our guide to the best gaming keyboards available today.

The Optimus Maximus keyboard, previously just "Optimus keyboard", is a keyboard developed by the Art. Lebedev Studio, a Russian design studio headed by Artemy Lebedev. Each of its keys is a display which can dynamically change to adapt to the keyboard layout in use or to show the function of the key. It was launched initially in 2007

The design featured on the studio"s website received attention on the web when it was featured on Slashdot on July 14, 2005, and afterwards for a few weeks on other technology websites. The original release date was "end of 2006", however production issues caused the Optimus mini three to be developed first, with the full keyboard delayed until the end of 2007. The keyboard was number 10 in the Vaporware Awards

The Optimus allows for greater user interaction, by dynamically displaying the current function of the keys. For example, when the user presses the shift key, the pictures would change to upper-case versions. It would also make switching between different keyboard layouts (such as English and Cyrillic) rapid, and could make the switch to alternative layouts such as Dvorak easier for people who only have a QWERTY keyboard with no possibility of rearranging the keys. To demonstrate this concept, there are computer renderings showing example layouts for Adobe Photoshop.

A patent application filed on March 13, 2007, suggests that Apple Inc. may be working on a similar dynamically changeable organic light-emitting diode (OLED) keyboard.

Art. Lebedev Studio released a smaller three-key version of their keyboard, named Optimus mini three. Each of the keys is larger than a standard key. The mini three can be adjusted, through the configuration software, to either a horizontal or vertical orientation.

Initial reviews were mixed. The keyboard functions as advertised, but it has been criticized for inordinately high CPU usage, slow response time, and buggy configuration software.

On July 21, 2008, Engadget posted about a new version of the keyboard, originally named Optimus Pultius. It features 15 OLED keys in a three-by-five arrangement and a USB port. Engadget also reported that the Pultius had been renamed to the Aux

In 2014, the existing models in the Optimus range were discontinued and superseded by the "Optimus Popularis" model which uses a single large LCD screen under the transparent keyboard instead of individual OLED displays for each key.

The keyboard"s full name relates to Jupiter Optimus Maximus ("Father God the Best and Greatest"), the full name of Jupiter, king of the gods in Roman mythology.
