原英文标题:《This mechanical keyboard has a whole-ass screen underneath its keys - Finalmouse’s debut keyboard is the $349 Centerpiece. It’s got a built-in CPU and GPU, and its screen animations are powered by Unreal Engine 5. 》
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.
精品游戏鼠标制造商Finalmouse对首次进军机械键盘市场有很大的计划。它的Finalmouse中心是一个引人注目的349美元键盘,在其透明的键帽和开关下方嵌入了一个屏幕。效果是,它看起来像是你直接在屏幕上打字,同时(希望)保持传统机械开关的感觉和触感。
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.
过去至少有过一次类似的尝试:Optimus Popularis。但是,虽然Popularis使用其屏幕(仅通过其单独的透明键可见)来显示有用的信息,如键盘快捷键,但Finalmouse似乎更具装饰性。
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.”
在预告片中,我们看到键盘显示了许多不同的可视化效果,包括矩阵风格的绿色滚动文本和自然视频。有时它们是交互式的——就像一池水,当你触摸相应的键时会动态飞溅——在一种情况下,键盘甚至会显示运行一个简单的交互式游戏。该公司将这种组合显示器和机械开关背后的技术称为“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.
Finalmouse表示,键盘能够一次存储三个皮肤,可以在键盘本身上切换。额外的皮肤可以从一个名为“The Freethinker Portal”的应用程序下载(认真的),它说创作者将能够上传他们创建的皮肤并收费。每个皮肤都在键盘的内置CPU和GPU上运行,Finalmouse表示它们由虚幻引擎5提供支持。
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.
As well as the Gateron switch, Finalmouse is also advertising that the Centerpiece will be available with a Hall Effect switch option — like those used on the Wooting Two HE — a design that uses magnets for actuation rather than standard metal contacts. Hall Effect switches can register analog inputs or let the user customize their exact actuation point (ie., how far you have to press a switch before it registers a press). This version is advertised as having an 8kHz polling rate, which should minimize input latency.
我最大的问题是这个键盘实际上是什么感觉,因为Optimus Popularis基本上不能作为普通键盘使用。令人放心的是,Finalmouse Centerpiece使用标准的Cherry MX式轴体,这应该保证一定的质量水平。它与开关制造商佳达隆合作,基于佳达隆现有且广受欢迎的Black Ink线性开关开发了所谓的“定制自动线性机械轴体”。

除了Gateron开关,Finalmouse还宣传说,中心部件将提供霍尔效应开关选项 - 就像Wooting Two HE上使用的那些 - 一种使用磁铁而不是标准金属触点的设计。霍尔效应开关可以注册模拟输入或让用户自定义其确切的驱动点(即,在注册按下之前必须按下开关的距离)。此版本被宣传为具有 8kHz 轮询速率,这应该最大限度地减少输入延迟。
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.
整体布局紧凑,大约 65%,这意味着您有一组方向键,但没有Fn行。从Finalmouse的预告片中很难很好地看到中心件的键帽,但与大多数机械键盘上的挖式键帽相比,它们似乎外形低调且相对平坦。
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.
此举可能意味着让尽可能多的屏幕通过每个键帽发光,它们的图例印在每个键的正面(而不是顶部),我无法想象这会使它们易于阅读 - 特别是当屏幕运行时。
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.
也没有提到更典型的发烧友机械键盘功能,例如支持可重新映射的按键或热插拔开关 - 可让您更换 键盘开关,无需拆焊。拖车也亮着其他技术规格,例如其内置显示器的分辨率或开关的细节。Finalmouse确实说它使用一根USB-C电缆连接到计算机。
It’s an ambitious design, and Finalmouse has its work cut out if it wants to make its display legible while keeping its switches usable. We won’t have a long wait to see if it’s succeeded, however, with Finalmouse promising that the Centerpiece is due to ship early next year.
这是一个雄心勃勃的设计,如果Finalmouse想要使其显示清晰易读,同时保持其开关可用,那么它的工作就被削减了。然而,我们不会有很长的等待时间看看它是否成功,Finalmouse承诺核心作品将于明年初发布。 |
